Wellbeing Intervention: Thrive

The Thrive Approach

The Thrive Approach is a powerful way of working with children which supports optimal social and emotioanl development.  It also allows us to work in a targeted way with children who may have struggled with difficult life events to help them re-engage with life and learning.

Thrive uses arts and play-based activities with children to promote a positive sense of self and build on their capacity to learn.  At Glanhowy Primary School pupils involved in the Thrive Programme will have access to our ThriveHive, a quiet and well resourced space which allows pupils to fully engage with their development.  We are lucky to have two qualified Thrive Practioners at Glanhowy, Mrs Pippen and Miss Fletcher.  Recently they have adopted a further four helpers in their work in the  Thrive Hive; our lovely guinea pigs Cinnamon, Cookie
