Nurture

At The John Wesley CEM Primary School, we understand that an important feature of the school is to enable all pupils to develop emotionally and develop their social skills, both through direct teaching and PSHE sessions, circle time, play, worships and indirectly with every conversation adults have with pupils throughout the day.

The school is currently undertaking the Nurture UK training and use The Boxall Profile to monitor the social and emotional needs of the whole school.
