Do you have a school-wide SEMH assessment tool in place? Let us know which one in the comments!

With an assessment tool like the Boxall Profile®, you’ll align with the government’s push for early intervention support without diagnosis. If you're already using a tool like the BPO, you can steal this sentence for your inclusion strategy:

"We use the Boxall Profile® to identify and monitor SEMH needs before they escalate."

Why is nurture the foundation of inclusive practice?

Nurture is an evidence-based way of helping children develop vital social skills, confidence and self-esteem.

The nurture approach enables teachers to identify, understand, and address the social and emotional needs that create barriers to learning, helping all pupils to feel like they belong.

It’s not a statement or a box-ticking exercise, it’s the definitive action of truly understanding each pupil and removing their barriers to learning.

What inclusion bases look like when they go right 🪄

Homewood School & Sixth Form Centre is a large secondary school in Kent. They operate two inclusion bases on their site: The Hub and The Life Centre.

Pupils in The Life Centre have all their developmental needs assessed: learning, language, social and emotional, using tools such as the Boxall Profile®. From this data, specific barriers to success are uncovered, such as time-management, literacy, self-efficacy, and targeted interventions are planned from there.

The young people accessing this provision are consistently displaying behaviours that are having a negative impact on their learning, and the learning of others around them. Staff at The Life Centre, however, know that the behaviour presented on the surface is only a small portion of what is going on; their targeted support aims to understand the root causes of the challenging behaviour.

Crucially, The Life Centre is not a sanction. It is an extra layer of support. In another setting, many pupils accessing this inclusion base might have been permanently excluded or persistently absent from school, instead of getting the support they need.

Don't forget about teacher wellbeing in your inclusive school plan ‼️

We know that when pupils feel accepted, valued, and connected, they are far more likely to engage, learn, and flourish. However, belonging is not a need that we outgrow. It is just as important for the educators who lead, support, and manage our schools.

This is your reminder on World Teacher Day to apply the same nurturing principles to your staff and colleagues, that you do to your pupils.

To get you started, we've got a poster you can download: https://www.nurtureuk.org/staff-belonging-matters/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=facebook

"When done well, nurture programmes help children regulate, reconnect, and gradually reintegrate into the classroom with renewed confidence. This was certainly our experience, as my daughter was able to fully return into the classroom by the end of term, and had a brilliant Year 6, finishing primary school on a high."

A parent shares their experience of their child going from loving school to not wanting to go in overnight. When in school, she became completely disengaged.

When a nurture group was suggested, the parent resisted. They didn't want their child separated from their peers. However, the intervention worked: rebuilding trust and establishing strong relationships which meant the pupil could return to mainstream classes and thrive.

Thanks to everyone that attended our free webinar on inclusion bases last night 💖

For those that missed it, here are just a few of the points that resonated with us...

🌟 Audit what you’re already doing before you start panicking and adding to workloads.
🌟 Inclusion bases are not a destination, but a bridge.
🌟 Consider pupils' strengths alongside their barriers and needs.
🌟 Adapt the route into the curriculum, not the ambition of the curriculum.
🌟 Expertise needs to travel around a school; we must build capacity and sustainability.

This event sold out super quick, so we might just put on another...let us know if you want that! Register your interest here and you'll be the first to know: https://www.nurtureuk.org/event/imf-free-webinar/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=sept_IMF -interest
