We Are Proud to Be Thrive Schools

At The Consortium Academy Trust, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. That’s why all our schools have adopted the Thrive Approach – a research-informed framework that helps children develop emotional resilience and positive relationships alongside academic success.

The Thrive Approach is grounded in neuroscience, attachment theory and child development research. It gives our staff practical strategies to identify and respond to learners’ social and emotional needs, ensuring that barriers to learning are addressed early and effectively. This isn’t an intervention for a few—it’s a whole-school ethos that shapes how we teach, interact and care for every child.

Our commitment to Thrive reflects our Trust vision of Shaping Positive Futures. We put our children and young people first, creating a supportive yet challenging environment where everyone can flourish and believe they have every chance of success. Through collaboration, we achieve more than any one school could alone, and we foster a culture where taking appropriate risks is seen as a strength. Thrive helps us build communities where learners and staff are proud of themselves, their peers, and the schools they represent—because wellbeing is the foundation for achievement and belonging.
