Results day can bring a mix of emotions, from pride and relief to disappointment, uncertainty or overwhelm.

When a moment becomes difficult, it can be easy to focus on the behaviour and quickly decide what it means.

But what changes when we pause and ask what the child may be experiencing?
Noise, transitions, discomfort, unexpected changes and several adults speaking at once can all shape how a moment feels.

Thrive’s Early Years Enabling Environment Reflection Tool helps practitioners look beyond the behaviour, explore what happens beforehand and consider what the child may need from the environment or the adults around them.

Start with one moment and look again.

The IMF & IEYF funding is built around seven principles of inclusion, helping schools and settings plan earlier, more proactive support for all children and young people.

These principles can support a more inclusive approach, where children feel understood, supported and ready to thrive.

In our webinar, we explore what this means in practice and how the funding could support your next steps.

Newington Primary’s peer support baton passed to new recruits 22/07/2026

The Thrive baton has been passed at Newington Community Primary School!

After helping to create happier, more inclusive lunchtimes, the school’s Year 6 Thrive Ambassadors have handed over to 12 newly trained pupils from Year 5.

The new ambassadors have been learning about emotional regulation, active listening and how to recognise when someone may need connection or support. Together, they will continue helping every child feel included, valued and able to enjoy a safe and happy lunchtime.

A brilliant example of pupil leadership rooted in kindness, connection and belonging.
