However, the way children behave can tell us a lot about how they are feeling; think of behaviour as a form of communication. The Thrive approach draws on the latest research from current neuroscience, recent attachment research, current studies of effective learning and current models of child development. **How do we use Thrive school?** As a school we have embraced Thrive. We don’t consider Thrive to be an intervention for just a few children. We consider it to be a whole-school approach. Using our own experience, and the resources available through the Thrive Approach, we can effectively support all our children’s emotional, mental health and social wellbeing from the first day of school until transition to secondary education. **Why do we do what we do?** Through positive relationships, our priority is to care for every child in a safe and friendly environment. To help us achieve this we have fully embraced the Thrive Approach. The Education Endowment Foundation suggest that teaching staff who are trained to improve emotional wellbeing help children make substantial attainment progress. The Thrive approach works seamlessly in enhancing our values as a Church school as we place the emotional, spiritual and moral wellbeing of our children at the forefront of all we do with kindness to self and others forming the bedrock on which our school is built. **Where?** All children benefit from a whole-school Thrive approach, we do however also have The Den, a space where 1:1 or small group work can take place in a safe and calm environment. **Who?** Mrs Lewis is our Thrive Licensed Practitioner. Chew Stoke Church School takes the emotional health and wellbeing of every child seriously. We believe that the school can help pupils build resilience and support them to be mentally healthy. We are also keen to support our families - parents as well as children - and have put together the following resources for you to use at home.
