Our Thrive
We are proud at New Village to have embedded the Thrive Approach in our setting.
Thrive is part of our ethos: we care for our children and believe this specialist intervention can not only re-engage them with learning but also create resilience so they are able to manage with life’s up and downs beyond New Village.
Having achieved Thrive school of Excellence in two areas, we are keen to continue working towards excellence in other areas. To achieve excellence in reparative thrive, we have to show that our children make good progress towards their individual targets. We show this using the online thrive assessment tool. Thrive practitioners work closely with teachers to make correct assessments of children.

Family Thrive
Bentley New Village now has a Family Thrive Course Leader. Family Thrive gives parents an insight into why children behave like they do, and provides them with pointers and resources to help create positive experiences that support and replicate the therapeutic approach that we are providing to them in school. It helps educating parents on the principles of behaviours simply being communication of needs, the basics of neuroscience, and attachment styles.
Right Time Thrive
As a school Bentley New Village embeds the principles of Thrive within its core values as a whole school approach, and the ethos in considered and embedded in all elements of learning. Not only do we offer reparative support to groups and individuals that maybe struggling, but we also ensure that every child is accessing Right Time Thrive. This involves sessions within the class environment to ensure we are supporting meeting developmental needs at the right-time. This helps pupils become more resilient, open to learning and able to thrive, even in challenging times.
