Mental health
Whatever your school’s needs, we’ve got you covered
At Thrive, we are specialists in providing education and mental health support for teachers and pupils in schools across Cheshire and the North West region.
We offer high-quality PPA and CPD cover in sports, music, wellness, mental Health, and PSHE. With more than 20 years’ experience, we have the track record, expertise and knowledge to deliver, so you can rest assured you are in safe hands.
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 and their support and courses to any school

Mental health
& wellness
Thrive’s ethos is driven by a core goal to improve and support the mental health of everyone we encounter, including staff, teachers and pupils. As well as providing support and cover for sport and music, Thrive also provide mental health support for pupils and accredited qualifications for school staff to raise awareness of mental health.
We bring experience, empathy & energy
Our founders Matthew Johnson and Andy Aspinall each have more than two decades of experience in teaching and coaching, working with schools, community groups, sports clubs and other organisations across the region. Both are qualified teachers, educated to degree level and are UEFA B qualified football coaches and Level 1 qualified coaches in other sports. They founded Sportscape in 2004 to offer high-quality sports cover to local schools and clubs and also trained as teachers so they could deliver apprenticeships and Post 16 education.
During this time they noticed the ever increasing need for mental health and wellbeing support for teachers and children, and so trained as First Aid for Mental Health Instructors to deliver accredited courses to Adults and a range of wellbeing activities for schools and children.
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
