At HBN we believe that emotional wellbeing and self confidence is paramount and key to good academic progress. In our Bloom Room we provide bespoke emotional support for individual children who may need support to improve their self-esteem and confidence, manage anxieties, or develop friendship skills. We also provide additional support to children who may have further personal difficulties such as bereavement or separation.
Our Bloom Room is a safe place where children can relax in the knowledge that they will be heard and listened to and given support if required. The room is more like a home setting and has a relaxing, bright and welcoming atmosphere where we are able to develop trust and positive relationships with our pupils.
