Our Ethos

Relational

Trauma-Informed

Relational

We aim to ensure that all members of the More Than Ed community relate to each other in ways that are engaged, centred, grounded, clear, generous, humble and kind.  

Nurturing

Trauma-Informed

Relational

 Our approach allows our young people to engage with missed early nurturing experiences, giving them the social and emotional skills to deal with the trials and tribulations of life, for life.  

Trauma-Informed

Trauma-Informed

Trauma-Informed

 We understand how trauma affects the brain and the lives of young people, therefore, every student has an available adult creating a safe environment, where they can learn to handle their emotions.  

The More Than Ed Approach

 In order for any young person to learn, self-regulate and develop socially, they must first feel safe and secure; they must be given the opportunity to make friends within small, carefully selected groups, where they can be themselves without fear of being seen as 'different'.  They must feel confident that their trusted adult will  protect them from situations that make them highly anxious, and that they will support them in learning to regulate their emotions.   To ensure we give our young people the best possible chance of achieving these goals, all our work is underpinned by Trauma-Informed and Nurture Principles.  Our staff are fully trained in using Trauma-Informed Practice, and all have up-to-date qualifications and training to support children with multiple ACEs and Attachment.  Through this Trauma-Informed and Attachment Aware practice, we seek to develop each child’s resilience, self-esteem and good mental health. 



Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Statement


At More Than Ed, good relationships are fundamental to  our ethos. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is lifelong learning  about relationships, emotions, looking after ourselves, different  families, sex, sexuality and sexual health.  It involves acquiring  information, developing skills and forming positive beliefs, values and  attitudes.  RSE has a key part to play in the personal, social, moral  and spiritual development of young people.

The aims of relationship and sex education (RSE) at our school are to:

  • Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place
  • Teach children the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies
  • Develop confidence in talking about feelings and relationships
  • Help children develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
  • Have the confidence and self-esteem to value themselves and others
  • Prepare children for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
  • Create a positive culture around issues of relationships and sexuality
  • Understand about the diverse range of different relationships, and  families, and their importance for the care and support of children
  • Behave responsibly within relationships
  • Be able to recognise unsafe situations and be able to protect themselves and ask for help and support
  • Understand the role of the media in forming attitudes
  • Understand that offence can be caused by the use of sexual terms as an insult
