THE SIX PRINCIPLES OF NURTURE GROUPS.

• Children's learning is understood developmentally.
• The classroom offers a safe base.
• Nurture is important for the development of self-esteem.
• Language is understood as a vital means of communication.
• All behaviour is communication.
• Transitions are significant in the lives of children.
  
  

Our dedicated pastoral team aims to meets the differing needs of all children, so that each child is equipped with life skills, enabling them to live fulfilling lives. To maintain an atmosphere that is safe, secure and predictable. Specialised counselling is also provided for children who have struggled with; bereavement, relationship breakdown, managing feelings, separation and anxieties and worries.
All of the children are identified by using the Boxall Profile across the whole school. The pastoral team respond to situations that may arise during the school day, yet reassuring parents that their children are being educated in a safe and nurturing environment. We also offer support within the wider community, assisting parents with external support, providing a ‘food boutique’, parent drop ins and having a general open-door policy. Parents and carers are given the opportunity to be sign-posted to outside services, for appropriate provision and support.
The pastoral team are available before and after school each day, we can be found on the school yard or call in to the school office and ask to speak to the Pastoral Team.
