international education and training placements. It

students, and ensure value for money by funding
high quality, safe, and well-managed projects.
Thrive School Status
We are delighted to announce that Queen's Park
High School has been awarded Thrive School
Status, recognising our whole-school commitment
to supporting the emotional wellbeing,
development and learning of every student.
The Thrive Approach is a research-informed,
whole-school framework that helps young people
develop the social and emotional skills they need
to succeed. By understanding the links between
emotional wellbeing, relationships and learning,
Thrive enables schools to provide the right support
at the right time, helping students feel safe, valued
and ready to achieve their full potential.
Over the past year, staff from across the school
have worked together to embed Thrive principles
into everyday practice. Achieving Thrive School
Status involved a rigorous evaluation process that
reviewed our provision, staff development, student
support systems and commitment to creating a
nurturing and inclusive environment for all
learners.
As part of this journey, Queen's Park High School
has also been recognised by the Virtual Schools
Team through the Attachment Friendly and
Trauma Aware Schools Award, acknowledging the
work we have undertaken to better understand
and support students who may have experienced
adversity, trauma or disrupted attachment.
These accreditations demonstrate our dedication
to placing wellbeing at the heart of school life and
ensuring that every young person has the
opportunity to thrive both academically and
personally.
These awards reflect the commitment of
colleagues across the school who work
tirelessly to build positive relationships and
create an environment where every student
feels understood, supported and empowered to
succeed. We are proud of what we have
achieved together and remain committed to
continually improving the support we provide
for our young people.
