  • Summary

    School systems and staff can play a key role in supporting the most vulnerable children, not only at the key moment of school entry/introduction but also throughout their time at the school. This chapter highlights the importance of understanding the background experience of children who are not thriving at school, helping them feel welcome and settled at school and finding ways, through the structured and unstructured educational opportunities provided at school, to help these children feel a sense of belonging and enhanced self-esteem within the school system. The chapter highlights the needs of two different subgroups of children: those with chronic health problems and refugee children. The need to consider the role the school can play to support families is discussed.
