At Broomhill Junior School, we believe strongly in continuing our professional development to ensure we are teaching at our best.  Therefore, we have all been committed to learning about a new approach to help us address the emotional health and wellbeing needs of all the children in our school and embedding this into the ethos of our school.  This is called the Solihull Approach.  The approach aligns with the way in which we work and our current ethos, it just consolidates and further embeds the approaches we use.  Below outlines what the approach is about and how you can get involved.
 

What is the Solihull Approach?

The Solihull Approach is about emotional health and wellbeing for all children, their parents, carers and grandparents.  They are passionate about sensitive relationships, early years support and understanding brain development to help nurture kind, emotionally aware children as they grow.

Solihull Approach brings together a core team of NHS clinical psychologists, child psychotherapists, health professionals, and child and family practitioners, together with schools and parents to develop training to support people who work with children in ANY setting as well as for ALL parents who want to support and nurture emotional health.
