Proteus Advisory undertook a comprehensive review of the Thriveway Accreditation Framework on behalf of Thrive Education. The purpose of this review was to assess the efficacy and potential impact of a new approach to school improvement. Over the next few months, Proteus will be working together with the Executives, school leaders and management teams to pilot the implementation of this innovative model of school improvement.

Thrive Ed revised the framework to include all recommendations from the review. Following these revisions, Proteus have partnered with Thrive Ed to pilot the modules across the 6 schools. Through these pilots, we will:
