Nurture Provision at Central Infant School : A Case Study
“He’s just so naughty, I can’t do a thing with him, I’ve told him, mind, he’s useless! I just want you to sort him out.” One parent’s view of her son.
At Central Infant School there are 243 pupils on roll, of which 160 are full-time. 17.28% are Ethnic Minority pupils and 9.8% have Bengali as their home language.
'We were aware that a number of our pupils had issues around poor self esteem and we wanted to improve the socio-emotional development which was impinging on their ability to engage with learning and to build sustainable relationships with their peers and other adults. The whole staff felt that there were a significant number of pupils in need of some form of intervention, although views on what that form should take varied. It was decided to establish a nurture group within the school.’
