More Than Ed is a 'Good School' (Ofsted - July 2022)
Our Vision
"Creating a culture of nurture, confidence and self-worth where children can grow"
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.
