Fairfields Primary School
Thrive Approach
What is the Thrive Approach?
Thrive is a dynamic approach being used in our school as a way of supporting children and young people’s social and emotional development. This approach can support children and young people, who may have struggled with difficult life events, to help them re-engage with life and learning.
Thrive uses a mixture of online assessments and classroom observations to identify what social and emotional areas your child needs support with. The Thrive Approach then provides us with age-appropriate tasks that are suited to a child’s developmental needs. We use Thrive’s play-and arts based activities, with the aim of supporting children’s emotional literacy and enable them to better access their learning. These activities are sometimes completed 1:1, in small groups or as part of the class.
