WHOLE SCHOOL NURTURE APPROACH FOR LEARNING PROGRAMME

Support the academic and emotional growth of your learners by joining the growing number of schools across the globe to achieve this international award.

This is an 18-month programme, with up to two years to complete the award.

The programme combines four half-day modules and a high-impact coaching package:

· Three one-to-one coaching sessions

· Personalised insights and reflection

· Support to apply learning in real settings

Our coaching element is a core part of the programme and is designed to maximise confidence, clarity, and professional growth.

The programme supports schools to…

Enhance learning and achievement, mental health and wellbeing by embedding an Inclusive, Developmentally Led, Trauma Sensitive, Nurture Approach for Learning.

Embed a graduated approach to meeting developmental needs by embedding ‘The Six Nurture Principles for Learning’.

Support both academic and developmental growth of all through the SEND graduated approach, from Universal to Intensive (Specialist Support).

Throughout the modules in the programme, we will explore:

The impact of early experiences on the development of the brain.
The healing of trauma.
How to embed a developmentally led, trauma-sensitive, nurture approach across the whole school community, embedding the six nurture principles for learning.
How the SLT attachment styles influence leadership behaviours, and explore their impact on team dynamics and decision-making, and guide participants in creating a practical, values-driven action plan to strengthen their leadership capacity.
How to create a positive learning environment where all feel emotionally safe.

Achieving the Award

To achieve the award, you will need to demonstrate impact on the culture of learning and achievement, mental health and wellbeing, attendance, and behaviour. Evidence of impact will be demonstrated, for example: pupils’ developmental needs are met within a graduated approach.

Who would benefit from this training?

Any school that wants to:

Embed an inclusive approach that meets all learners’ developmental needs.

Improve Learning and achievement for all learners

Enhance the Mental Health and Well-being of learners and staff

As this is a whole school approach, at least one member of the senior leadership team must attend, and the head teacher must be fully committed and involved with the implementation of the Six Nurture Principles for Learning.

What have previous participants said about this programme?

A big thank you for such a wonderful, informative training programme. I have taken a lot away from this course and look forward to using it effectively in my school setting.

N Hughes St Albans Primary School Wirral (After modules one and two of WSNAL)

We have really enjoyed participating in the WSNAL Training Programme and have learnt a lot. We loved learning about trauma and attachment and how we can cascade what we have learnt to all staff so that these children can offer support throughout the school. The trainer has been very helpful and available when we ask for support. The Digital Developmental Portrait is beyond useful.

Day one of the WSNAL has been very informative. The trainer’s passion, experience and knowledge shine through. I loved the strategies that we can implement across the school to support dysregulated children.
