Emotionally Available Schools
2025-04-01 16:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
Join us for this webinar, ‘Emotionally Available Schools’, which might just re-frame your thinking about emotional well-being in schools. It will take place on April 1st 4-5pm.
We are honoured to have Roger Mitchell presenting this session. Roger is a dedicated trustee for nurtureuk, an organisation committed to the emotional well-being of children. He also serves as the Headteacher at Ripple Primary, where his leadership and passion for nurturing young minds have made a significant impact. With a wealth of experience in education and a deep commitment to fostering supportive learning environments, Roger brings invaluable insights to our discussion. Please join me in welcoming Roger Mitchell.
In this session Roger will present the journey the school has been on to get where it is today.
When Roger Mitchell arrived as Acting Head at Ripple Primary School in 2005 it was not a happy school. With the staff team splintering from a lack of leadership following the long term illness, and then death, of their Headteacher, attendance and outcomes were low and behaviour was not good amongst both the children and the adults.
But Ripple has now proclaimed itself to be an ‘Emotionally Available School’ and a recent visitor, consulting on the SENDAP Review for the DfE, has recently written to say:
“At a time of negativity around SEND and inclusion, you and your school are a beacon of hope and proof it can be done. It seems like this is your time to take your ideas to the world. We certainly need them.”
