Attachment and Trauma Sensitive Schools Award (ATSSA)
Endeavour have proudly achieved Bronze and Silver status of the Attachment and Trauma Sensitive Schools Award accredited by Jennifer Nock Training and Consultancy.
What is the ATSSA Award?
The award aims to ensure that everyone working within Endeavour has a good knowledge of the needs of our learners who may have experienced adversity and of the strategies and resources that are available to meet such needs.
Awareness of how to support children and young people's emotional needs and development is key in promoting better learning and mental/physical health outcomes for all learners so they can heal, thrive, play and learn.
