Laurance Haines was the first school in the UK to receive the National Nurturing Schools Award.

The Pastoral Support Team works with children in school to help them access all aspects of school life; learning, social, play and achieving greater emotional resilience. by providing a range of services to support children and their families.

As part of the whole-school approach to Nurture, the new Nurture Fairy Garden is a quiet, calm outdoor space where adults can take children to think and contemplate. It is surrounded by pebbles decorated by the children with positive messages. Former Nurture children were invited to speak to Nurture UK and took time to decorate fairy cakes for parents to enjoy at the grand opening of the fairy garden.
