ELSAs
Make A Difference!
 |
Thornhill Plus You is currently funding one ELSA in
each of the three primary schools. Each school has made
a commitment to fund one ELSA each in their school and
this has already commenced, so at the moment each school
has 2 ELSAs.
The
Assistants work with children who have challenging or
difficult behaviour and offer them a place to learn
and develop without disrupting their class.
|
| With two ELSA’s
working in each school, the scheme has proved to be making
a difference. The number of pupils excluded for half a
day or detained during lunchtimes has been significantly
improved. In just one school year 240 exclusions have
been reduced to 8. |
