Keys to unlocking potential

We are passionate about early intervention and partnership working, so we have established a Nurture Room in the local Primary School - a dedicated space designed so that the children feel safe enough to open up about their worries and talk through their emotions, but also have the freedom to express themselves through creative projects.  The heart of the Nurture Room lies in recognising that all behaviour is communication. This format is intended to give the children an opportunity to build trusting and nurturing relationships, and learn skills that allow them to flourish in school, make friends and deal with life more confidently and calmly.

Outcome

Since the Nurture Room was established, attendance levels have improved and incidences of challenging behaviour have significantly reduced across the school.
