A Trauma-Informed Approach

There is a growing body of research on the impact childhood adversity has on long-term mental and physical health.  It is estimated that 12 children in every class of 30 have experienced childhood adversity. To ensure every child develops positive mental health and resilience, we recognise and respond to the impact of traumatic experiences on our children and we focus on creating a safe and supportive environmentsilver-award.png

Children and adults will:

Thrive - be able to learn, discover and achieve their potential

Be known - have their potential and achievements applauded and celebrated

Learn - in a way that is interesting, takes into account their developmental stage, adapts to their needs and builds their confidence

Experience – an exciting, relevant, accessible curriculum, that meets their needs, builds aspirations and enables them to take risks safely

Be respected and supported as individuals

Through support, understanding and co-regulation from adults, learn to understand themselves, their emotions and behaviours, and learn ways to self-regulate

Build healthy and safe relationships and learn how to repair relationships when things go wrong, so they can be confident and positive members of our community. 

At Ursuline, we strive to create an environment that promotes healing, resilience, and academic success for children who have experienced trauma and are proud to have met the standards for the Attachment & Trauma Sensitive School Silver Award in 2024.
