NASS Outstanding Impact Award:
The NASS Awards celebrate excellence in independent special schools. The Outstanding Impact Award recognises work that has profoundly impacted the outcomes for children and young people.
Headteacher, Beth Elkins explains how Gretton has worked to embed a Relational Practice approach to support emotional regulation for autistic children and reduce the need for physical intervention. By focusing on understanding and support rather than fixing and changing, the school replaced its traditional behaviour policy with one centred on positive relationships, reflection, restoration and aspiration. As the school roll doubled, physical interventions more than halved. This innovative approach has been life-changing for learners, families, and staff, redirecting students to positive futures with achievements including GCSEs and university offers.
Who is the session aimed at?

About the Presenter
Beth Elkins / Headteacher – Gretton School
Beth Elkins has worked in SEN for more than 25 years with a breadth of experience of working with learners with unique learning profiles and a need for education to be different. A parent of a young man with PDA, Beth’s passion for specialist education runs through both her personal and professional life,
with the aim of making a positive difference in the lives of as many young people as possible.
All of the children and young people at Gretton School are autistic, some with additional diagnoses, and the school is set up to support each individual to reach their very significant potential. Alongside its commitment to delivering a high quality, broad and balanced curriculum, all of the staff have specialist training on – and some, a very personal experience of – autism; and they are committed to making the school as inclusive, vibrant and supportive as possible. With a strong commitment to preparing young people for adulthood, the school’s focus is not only on the academic progress of young people, but on their independence, social and emotional skills too.
