Nurture Provision

                        

At Iveson we support all our children to achieve their full potential and recognise in order to do this there are times when they may require nurture provision. Nurture provision seeks to support our children to overcome barriers in their learning brought about by social, emotional or behaviour difficulties through short term, focussed intervention strategies. We recognise the need for children to form secure and happy relationships in their formative years and therefore we ensure our nurture groups provide the opportunity to revisit those early nurturing experiences.

We are extremely proud to have been accredited as a MindMate Friendly School.

Meet the team

Mrs Rhodes
Mrs RhodesHLTA
I am a HLTA and deliver the Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE) curriculum to pupils throughout Key Stage 2. I also oversee the delivery of PSHE in Key Stage 1. I have completed Nurture training and support pupils with various play therapy techniques and activities such as ‘Talk & Draw’ and Guided Visualisation. Alongside these important interventions, I also include sand and Lego therapy and run breathing and focused stretching classes. The pupils benefit greatly from these sessions and find them effective when dealing with anxieties and worries. I feel very proud to be part of our fantastic Inclusion team and aim to ensure our school has an inclusive and nurturing environment.

Alongside my role as Family Support Lead I also work closely with the children across all key stages. My work is child lead, we get to know each other and we build up a mutual trust, this enables me to get to know their likes and dislikes, we may use Lego, art or sport, in Fact anything that helps, sometimes it is as simple as having a chat, a quiet space or using a stress ball.
