Nurture

At Newick, we are dedicated to supporting all of our children to reach their full individual potential. Our Nurture provision provides a welcoming, safe environment where children can explore their emotional and social wellbeing, learn about themselves, develop and grow. We seek to nurture individuals and to give our pupils the aspiration and confidence to participate, engage, appreciate and take fascination in the world of opportunities around them.

As well as the Six Principles of Nurture being a whole school approach, we have a designated Nurture room where children can go in small groups or 1:1 for support.  The sessions are fun and informative, using activities and resources designed to motivate, engage and support the children. The children also have access to our sensory room. Our Nurture sessions typically last for either a morning or an afternoon and are reviewed termly. The skills our children develop can then be taken with them into the mainstream classroom.

We have regular visits from Mrs Oliver's guinea pigs and have even had a Breakout Morning with her ponies!

Nurture support may also look like:

• Meet and Greet in the morning to support children as they start their day
• In class support 
• Small group and individual support sessions
• Opportunity to reflect
• Daily check -ins
• Friendship support

"I like knowing I have somewhere safe to talk."

"I enjoy the different activities."

"Snack time is my favourite!"

"Nurture is somewhere I feel heard."
