๐ Our final Educator Awards of the Month for this school year!
Our final educator award of the month for this school year. With it being the last one and so many amazing options we have selected three fantastic Thrive Educators for July.
๐ Kirsty
Kirsty joined Thrive in October 2025 whilst studying for her Early Childhood Studies degree. Since then, she's supported a number of schools before settling into a full-time placement from May. It's been fantastic to watch her confidence grow as she's put her learning into practice, with brilliant feedback from the schools she's worked in. Although her availability will reduce as she returns for her second year at university, we know she'll be back with us whenever she can.
๐ Victoria
Victoria joined us in January after relocating from Scotland. She threw herself into every opportunity, working across a variety of settings before finding her home at Cann Bridge. She's loved every minute there and has now secured a permanent contract from September. While we're sad to lose her from the Thrive team, we're incredibly proud of her and wish her every success in her new role.
๐ Bev
Bev joined us in April with a wealth of experience and made an immediate impact. She impressed so much in a brand-new school that she was booked for the entire term, helping us build a fantastic relationship with the setting. When that placement came to an end, she quickly secured another role before being offered a permanent position for September at another of our partner schools. Bev has achieved so much in such a short time with us, and although we're sad to see her move on, we couldn't be happier for her.
๐ Thank you all for everything you've done while representing Thrive. We wish you every success in your new roles and have a fantastic well-earned break this summer.
21/07/2026
As we approach the final few days of another school year, it feels like the perfect time to reflect.
It's strange to say, but we no longer feel like the "new" agency. As we finish our second year, Thrive has become a familiar name across so many education settings, particularly in Plymouth. We've built a reputation for specialising in SEN, and the staff who represent us have become incredibly sought after.
That's exactly why this time of year is always bittersweet.
Over the coming weeks, we'll say goodbye to some amazing people as they move into permanent contracts, head back to university, relocate, or begin new chapters.
While we're always proud to see our staff progress, replacing such fantastic individuals is never easy because they've set the bar so high.
So, to every individual who has worked at Thrive... thank you.
We've always said that as an agency, we're only as good as the people we place. This year has proved that more than ever. The incredible feedback we've received from schools and settings is a direct reflection of the commitment, professionalism and care shown by our staff every single day. .
To our educators, thank you for trusting us too. The feedback and reviews you've shared mean a huge amount. We've always believed that looking after our staff comes first, and we've done everything we can to support you, celebrate your successes, and help navigate the challenges along the way.
A huge thank you also goes to everyone who has liked, commented on or shared our posts throughout the year. Social media has played a massive part in our growth, helping us connect with so many fantastic educators. We really appreciate every bit of support, and we're already planning even bigger and better giveaways and competitions for next year.
Finally, Ryan and I will be sharing our availability over the summer in a separate post. Like many of you, we'll be taking a bit of time to reset over the first couple of weeks of the holidays before gearing up for what is shaping up to be our busiest September yet.
To every teacher, teaching assistant, tutor and member of school staff... enjoy the break.
You've more than earned it. ๐
