Here in the office we don’t always get the opportunity to
see all the wonderful work that you are doing in your settings, so we
were delighted when earlier this term one of our new relationship
managers, Mel Fisher, visited Suttons Primary School in Hornchurch and
reported back. Mel sat down with the Deputy Head and Thrive practitioner
Karen Blake for a chat about how Suttons Primary discovered Thrive, their
wonderful Thrive room and how beneficial they’ve found Thrive in their
setting.
Before Suttons Primary decided to introduce Thrive, Karen tells us that
they visited a school in a neighbouring borough to make sure that it was
right for them. They wanted to ensure that Thrive could help support
children who had experienced significant trauma and had attachment
disorder. The school they visited had practised Thrive for several years,
and after the visit they were convinced that it would be a good option
for them! Suttons Primary now have three licensed practitioners, one of
whom is delivering Thrive full time to individual children.
