Ceara School, a special education school in Lurgan, Northern Ireland has recently been awarded our National Nurturing Schools Award. They use nurture and the Boxall Profile® Online as part of their mission to create a caring and child-centred community.

Here they share how they use the tool:

The Boxall Profile® has become integral to understanding and planning for the diverse needs of our children and young people. By providing a clear lens on their social, emotional, and development needs, we can create truly effective Personal Learning Plans (PLPs).

Parents have highlighted how the Boxall Profile® ensures these PLPs are both bespoke and realistic, focusing on foundational skills that enable genuine growth. This holistic approach means that each child's wellbeing is prioritised, creating a solid base for them to confidently access learning.

Furthermore, the Boxall Profile®'s emphasis on developmental stage, rather than solely chronological age, has been instrumental in shaping our curriculum pathways. This ensures that all our children and young people, regardless of their starting point, are engaged in learning experiences that are precisely matched to their individual needs and promote meaningful progress.

Impact:

  • Individualised PLPs: Parents feel their children's unique needs are genuinely reflected and addressed.
  • Holistic development: Wellbeing is prioritised as a crucial foundation for academic access.
  • Engaging curriculum: Learning pathways are tailored to developmental stages, maximising engagement and progress for all learners.

(Note: This approach is used effectively for the majority of our students, with alternative strategies in place for those with profound and multiple learning difficulties.)
