The National Nurturing Schools Programme
Children and young people in the UK are struggling with social, emotional and mental health issues like never before, while your team is working hard to improve attendance and behaviour. Our whole-school approach - the National Nurturing Schools Programme - can help you get to grips with these problems.
Nurture gets to the heart of children and young people's challenges, and supports them to build connections and resilience. It's a highly effective way to improve attendance and behaviour in your school, leading to better attainment and reduced exclusions.
Our National Nurturing Schools Programme helps your team to develop and embed a nurturing culture throughout an educational setting, enhancing teaching and learning, and promoting better outcomes for the whole school community. It focuses on pupils’ emotional needs and development alongside their academic learning and can improve attendance and behaviour.
The programme is highly rated by school leaders and teachers, with an outstanding Net Promoter Score of over 70, meaning almost all participants strongly recommend the sessions.
You’ll get 18 months of support, including training and one-to-one help, along with two years of subscription to the Boxall Profile®Online, and an optional assessment for the prestigious National Nurturing Schools Award.
Your team will be guided on their journey by experts who have deep knowledge of nurture and its benefits, and how to implement the approach in school.
We'll give your team a framework you can fit to the needs of your setting. This isn’t about signing up to an off-the-shelf training course, but about getting help to consider your school’s values, your pupils' needs, and how you can support them to achieve their very best.
Sessions start every term, so you can join the programme whenever you are ready.
Our whole-school programme gives you the proven tools, training and support you need to implement nurture in schools, improve attendance and behaviour and help children thrive.
