Well Being
Lead Teacher: Miss Shaw
What does wellbeing look like in Prospect Hill Infant and Nursery School?
THRIVE
We use a screening and monitoring tool called Thrive-Online® which identifies the developmental needs of individuals or groups and suggests actions plans to meet these needs so that children and young people can move forward and fulfil their potential. We use Thrive-Online® to screen all children at Prospect Hill Infant and Nursery School and then we use this data to plan appropriate activities to build into teaching to support social and emotional development as well as whole class lessons, which are a key part of our Relationships and Thrive Curriculum. We can then measure and report on the progress of whole groups and individuals over time.
A THRIVE Action Plan is a plan of activities tailored to support a child’s identified social and emotional learning targets. The activities are one-to-one and small group play and arts-based activities designed to help the child feel better about themselves; become more resilient and resourceful; form trusting, rewarding relationships; be compassionate and empathetic; and/or be able to overcome difficulties and setbacks.
Our THIRVE practitioner is Mrs Foy
