The Levers | These 5 levers will underpin all we do |
Lever 1 | Relationships – reach out and greet. Don’t automatically expect them to return joyful |
Lever 2 | Community – engage, listen, understand, grow together |
Lever 3 | Metacognition – Explicitly scaffold teaching to grow confidence as a learner |
Lever 4 | Transparent curriculum – co-construct to show them how you are addressing the gaps |
Lever 5 | Space – to be, to rediscover self-image, concept, esteem and confidence |
The aim of our Recovery Curriculum is to ensure that all children have a secure attachment and learning profile. We know that securely attached children are more likely to be:
Better problem solvers | Co-operative and self-regulating |
More curious | Less likely to develop emotional and behavioural problems |
Have increased quality and duration of learning | More socially empathetic and less based in interpreting behaviour of others |
Have higher academic achievement | More self-aware (Self-knowledge) |
We will use the Leuven criteria to assess Well-being and Involvement

Hook: Author Study on Rachel Bright. This series of picture books written by Rachel Bright and illustrated by Jim Field are the perfect books to support us in teaching into the Recovery Curriculum. Within each book, the children will meet characters who have to overcome anxieties and difficulties in order to enjoy their life to the full, grow in independence and realise that change does not need to be seen as a bad thing.
The Way Home for Wolf - Stubborn wolf cub Wilf doesn't want help from anyone. Not from his friends or his family. Whatever it is, he can do it all by himself. But when Wilf finds himself lost and alone in the chill of the Arctic night, he discovers something important: sometimes we all need the helping hand of a friend
The Squirrels who squabble - Greedy squirrels Cyril and Bruce both have their sights on a very special prize: THE VERY LAST NUT OF THE SEASON!

Working together might be the only way to save themselves now ...
The Lion Inside – In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old.
