About the programme
This high impact programme offers a comprehensive set of complementary strategies and approaches to unlock academic achievement and accelerate progress by:
- Re-examining a whole school community’s relationship with “behaviour” and “behaviour management”, creating culture and practice that is trauma-informed and relationships-driven
- Reviewing the school culture and classroom environment to find deep level barriers that adversely affect a proportion of children
- Helping staff understand the cognitive and behavioural impact of poverty and adverse social circumstances
- Applying the latest knowledge in the neuroscience of learning to create classrooms that support neurodiverse learners through grounded cognitive and metacognitive practice
- Removing individual barriers to learning, caused by physical or cognitive conditions, through the advanced deployment of Assistive Technologies
This programme is designed to have a positive and sustained impact on critical cohorts of children and young people that may have lost significant ground because of Covid-19 disruption, supporting improvements in culture, climate and ethos that will enable achievement to thrive:
- Children who are under-performing because of anxiety, stress or distress
- Children and Young People receiving SEN Support (as well as those with EHCPs)
- Children in Care or on the edge of care
- Children and Young People with specific vulnerabilities (self-esteem and confidence, emotional self-regulation skills, etc.)
- Pupil Premium Cohort
- New migrants or Travellers
- Neurodiverse learners below the threshold for statutory SEN support
WHY DO WE NEED THIS?
Simply put, an anxious, frightened or angry mind simply will not learn.
This Programme helps teaching professionals to understand what they can do to create an inclusive learning environment that supports and nurtures children at the highest possible levels of emotional wellbeing. It builds social and emotional resilience, by meeting the needs of neurodiverse learners, thereby accelerating progress and securing better personal outcomes.

Evaluation
It is important to critically examine the impact of any school improvement programme, for a number of reasons:
Raising Attainment with Wellbeing is designed to support impact evaluation using a range of tools and strategies
The first step is to identify how your school community measures wellbeing currently, and consider ways of enhancing these tools and approaches as a first step.
Ultimately, key school improvement measures, such as attendance and punctuality, engagement in learning, use of school discipline pathways including fixed-term suspension, permanent exclusion and managed move statistics, will reflect progress made and a journey travelled.
The programme also offers
Individual focussed activity within different elements of the Programme will generate their own measurable outputs (such as positive behaviour management peer reviews and adapting Wave 1 teaching behaviours to be more inclusive).
