Nurturing Rutland
Nurturing Rutland
All primary school aged children in Rutland are benefitting from training to embed a whole-school approach to nurture. The programme has beenempowering schools to address the social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and remove barriers to mainstream education for pupils with SEND.
We have been commissioned by Rutland County Council to deliver the National Nurturing Schools Programme in collaboration with all of Rutland’s primary schools. The programme supports all pupils across Rutland County Council's primary schools (over 2,500 pupils) to flourish in their education.
The programme was launched in Rutland on 8th May 2024 and is being funded by the Delivering Better Value (DBV) in SEND - a Department for Education grant. Rutland County Council is the second local authority that nurtureuk are supporting under the DBV grant programme - the first being the Nurturing Solihull Programme.
Through our graduated approach to nurture, schools have been given the tools they need to provide the right support at the right time, preventing escalation of need relating to SEMH.
“The enthusiasm among Rutland’s schools for nurturing approaches has been amazing to see. I’m proud to be part of this project and it’s exciting to think about the positive impact it will have on the well being of the children across the county.” Cherida Gibson, Nurture & Outreach Lead, Rutland County Council.
I am thoroughly delighted that we will be working in Rutland to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for children and young people with SEND. The Six Principles of Nurture are at the heart of our whole-school approach to nurturing education and our team is looking forward to creating lasting impact across the 16 schools over the next year."
