What is a Nurture Group?
A Nurture Group is a small special class that provides a safe and predictable structured environment in which children are given opportunities to re-visit early missed ‘nurturing’ experiences.
Teaching staff and teaching assistants model positive relationships and there is an emphasis on the development of language and communication skills.
Children work 1:1 with an adult, in pairs and in small groups and their levels of achievement are raised by carefully targeted teaching/learning opportunities.
The curriculum includes the National Curriculum and takes account of all school policies.
Parents/carers are consulted regularly and encouraged to work in partnership with the school.
Nurture Groups have traditionally been used primarily for infant children (4yrs – 7yrs) however they are being used increasingly with junior age children (7yrs – 11yrs) and also with children in secondary school (11yrs – 16/18yrs).
