Welcome to Dolphins

Dolphins is based in the mobile classroom and is an extended part of our SEND and pastoral provision.

We will be able to offer further support for children who may struggle at times in school for a number of reasons and offer a designated base to create a calm and nurturing environment for our learners.

Dolphins Staff:

Mrs Reeves - SENDCo

Mrs Dexter - SEN Support

Miss Pope - Pastoral Lead

Mrs McCarthy - Lead THRIVE Practitioner / HLTA

Mrs Lucas - THRIVE Practitioner / TA

This is also alongside the fantastic pastoral work Mrs Simmonds provides and the ELSA support Mrs Mcdavid  continues to do within school.

The Dolphins team will offer pastoral, social and emotional and academic support for children identified in school and will offer a range of provision.

The Thrive approach is a whole school approach to supporting the right-time social and emotional development of all children. Thrive can be done in small groups or 1:1 sessions depending on individual needs. Thrive can help understand what children and young people are trying to communicate through their behaviour - so we can promote their positive mental health, improve their ability to learn, and open their doors to a bright future. It is a neuroscience and psychology-based approach to helping children and young people thrive.
