My name is Miss Dobson and I am Southwood’s Thrive and Parent Coach. So what is Thrive? Thrive is an intervention programme designed to help all children to develop their social and emotional well-being, enabling them to engage with life and learning.

My name is Tyrone and I am Southwood's Social and Resilience Coach. I support all members of our community overcome challenges and barriers to be the best they can be. I support colleagues, children, parents, carers and services with their thinking and practical ideas on how to overcome adversity and challenge. I am one of the lead thinkers in the school around Restorative Practice and I am striving to minimise conflict and support those in conflict through the use of non-violent communication strategies. We are always working towards being the best version of ourselves and being the best school!
