Jayne Curd, Behaviour Lead at Meridian High School, reveals how Thrive is helping educators shift their perspective. Instead of just reacting to behaviour, they’re understanding why it happens—leading to better relationships, improved attendance, and real change.

At Thrive, we help schools and settings create safe, emotionally healthy environments where children develop resilience, empathy, and self-awareness—key protective factors against online grooming, coercion, and radicalisation.

Thrive supports educators to identify and address unmet needs which can cause dysregulated behaviours, and help to create an environment of safety and belonging in school.

Co-author of research conducted by Bristol and Hull Universities, Iain Brennan, found that many teachers noted clear signs long before a pupil was excluded.

Lib Peck, the director of the Violence Reduction Unit in London, stated that some exclusions will always be necessary to keep pupils and #teachers safe but said more should be done to support young people to stay in #school.

A recent article in The Guardian shines a light on the damaging impact #exclusion can have on teens, reporting them to be twice as likely to commit a serious violent crime than peers who were #suspended but not #excluded.

We've especially valued the conversations around empathy-based approaches, rethinking suspensions to foster an inclusive school culture, the power of play, building independent and resilient learners, and supporting pupils experiencing EBSA.

We'd love to hear your key takeaways from the day.
