At Enrich Academy we recognise that some students need additional support in order to be in a position to achieve their potential. In response to this, we have implemented a nurture offer which focuses on developing the social, emotional and mental health needs of our students. This offer is delivered in a supportive and nurturing environment and is tailored to the needs of each individual student. Entry level maths and English are interwoven into activities and experiences which are developed to respond to needs identified on each student’s Boxall profile:
The Boxall Profile is an invaluable resource for the assessment of children and young people’s social, emotional and behavioural development.
The two-part checklist, which is completed by staff who know the child and young person best, is quick — and, very importantly, identifies the levels of skills the children and young people possess to access learning. Many children in school are insecure about their worth, often not able to articulate their feelings. Instead they show their discomfort by withdrawal, achieving much less than they could, not making good relationships.
Others may act out their feelings of anger and failure by minor or major acts of disrupting the progress of others. Whatever the behaviour, the result is that they do not get positively engaged in education. Understanding what lies behind this can make all teachers much more confident in their class management, which is where the Boxall Profile comes in.
