‘A diverse community where all students Thrive’.
At Island School we aim to embrace wellbeing which is at the core of our Thrive programme. We distinguish wellbeing through our four lenses including social, emotional, physical and cognitive wellbeing. This approach to wellbeing ensures we deliver a comprehensive programme for the protection and safety of young people.
To provide opportunities for students to develop essential lifelong skills. To raise the awareness of wellbeing we provide our community with a monthly wellbeing resource facilitated by our student body, the Thrive Ambassadors.

The Thrive programme
The Thrive programme
Island Schools Thrive programme has been developed from evidence based research about the wellbeing of young people. The pastoral team oversee the curriculum which is taught by the tutors. The curriculum encompasses wellbeing initiatives and the teaching of the new Relationship and Comprehensive (Sexual) Education curriculum. The RSE is mandatory across all ESF schools and was developed with the objective of “giving young people the tools to safeguard their health and wellbeing”. At Island School we believe that this should be at the core of the curriculum. The development of this programme is a result of ongoing work in protecting young people which has been established from UNESCO guidelines.
