Whatever your school’s needs, we’ve got you covered
Schools today face challenges that extend far beyond academic achievement.
Attendance.
Behaviour.
Confidence.
Belonging.
Wellbeing.
Positive relationships.
Thrive works alongside schools to help children develop the skills, confidence and resilience they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Our programmes combine movement, mentoring, wellbeing, leadership and personal development to create meaningful impact for pupils, staff and school communities.
Building confidence, connection and belonging
The impact of giving children opportunities to discuss things has been felt across the school. Both teachers and pupils have learned things and we would recommend Thrive, their support and courses to any school

Personal & Social Development
Building confidence, character and life skills
Children need more than academic success to thrive. They need confidence, communication skills, resilience, self-belief and positive relationships.
Our Personal & Social Development programmes help pupils develop the attitudes, behaviours and skills that support success both in school and beyond. Through our Wellbeing Champions and Game Changers programmes children will be fully engaged in practical experiences. We create opportunities for children to build confidence, strengthen relationships and develop a positive sense of self, through sport, practical classroom activity and we even have our own Super Dog

Our Programmes
More than two decades supporting children and schools
Our founders Matthew Johnson and Andy Aspinall have spent more than 20 years working alongside schools, young people and communities across Cheshire and the North West.
Their experience spans education, youth development, wellbeing, inclusion, coaching and workforce development.
Over the years, one thing became increasingly clear:
Schools needed support that went beyond sport.
Today Thrive helps schools develop the whole child through programmes focused on confidence, wellbeing, belonging, leadership and positive engagement.
Sport and movement remain powerful tools, but they are no longer the destination.
They are part of the journey.
The way the team at Thrive delivered their courses ensures that there is a good balance between class-based learning and outdoor activity. I would recommend Thrive to other schools, particularly if they didn’t have a scheme of work in place through their PSHE that covers Mental Health
