We are recruiting schools for the latest Attachment Aware, Trauma Informed project
Do you want to understand childhood trauma and its impact on learning and behaviours?
Do you want to understand attachment styles so that you can build better relationships?
The Attachment Aware, Trauma Informed School (AAS) project aims to raise awareness and increase understanding of the role of attachment and trauma in education and provide schools with different strategies to address the needs of children who may have experienced adverse childhood experiences. It is already having a positive impact in Warwickshire schools, helping to change relationships for the better between teaching staff and pupils.
Sharon Byrne, headteacher of Kingsway Primary School was recently involved in the project and had this to say:
“We can’t imagine any other way.
Children are tricky but they are all managed; their needs are met.
It is an investment.”
We are looking for schools to take part in the Virtual School 2019-20 AAS project.
It is open to all Warwickshire schools working with statutory school-aged children. If you are a headteacher or senior leader interested in investing in whole school CPD and driving improvement via involvement in the project then we would recommend that you come along to one of the sessions below to find out more about our offer and the commitment required.
Schools that take part in the project will be committing to a year of collaboration with the Warwickshire Virtual School, followed by participating in opportunities to share and reflect with others who have taken part over past years.
Our aim is to maintain and update knowledge and expertise and work together to encourage all Warwickshire settings to become Attachment Aware and Trauma Informed.
