What is Flourish and Fly?
Flourish and Fly is the name we give to our programme of group sessions designed to develop confidence, self-esteem and communication.
The groups evolved from a pastoral initiative to support the emotional and social needs of children who seemed challenged by various playground situations, friendships, confidence and anxiety issues. Its success made us realise that all children can benefit and flourish through these sessions and activities, and it became an important part of our Emotional and Well-being provision.

How does it work?
Your child can ask to be part of the group or be referred by you or staff members.
Groups are run by trained staff who help your child develop the tools and techniques to face new situations, friendships and challenges with confidence and effective communication.
Your child might use stories and drama or play games, such as ‘Emotion Detective’, to explore new emotions and assign them to scenarios. In being better able to understand, acknowledge and express emotions, your child’s emotional literacy grows.
Put simply, we equip your child with valuable, adaptable strategies to support and empower them in navigating through life.
