Support for Emotional & Social Development

At West Cornforth Primary School we recognise the need to support the emotional and social development of our children. We have recently set up a Nurture Room with appointed staff which aims to offer specific interventions and support for emotional and social development. This is particularly important for children with ASD.

  • Weekly sessions available in school from the school counsellor.
  • Three members of staff trained in Therapeutic storywriting and groups regularly take place.
  • Staff trained in delivery of the ‘Getting along’ programme to support social development.
  • School operates a ‘Buddy’ system for learning and social activities. Younger children supported by older children.
  • The school has ‘Rainbow flag’ ambassadors to tackle HBT bullying and support children with identity and sexuality.
  • The Nurture Room is used effectively to support children that need additional emotional and social support.
  • After school games clubs promote social development.
