The impact of the HoNOSCA Framework | National Association of Special Schools (NASS) Quorn Hall School, an independent special school in Leicestershire, was a 2025 NASS Award finalist in the Innovation category for its pioneering use of the HoNOSCA mental health framework to deepen understanding of pupil needs and transform whole-school practice. The school caters for children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, many of whom have additional special educational needs and diagnoses such as autism and ADHD. By moving from observing behaviours to clinically informed insight, the school has created meaningful change that is improving wellbeing, learning and belonging for every student. In this guest blog, Anna Fitzpatrick shares her reflections on how the HoNOSCA framework is changing lives, and how a therapeutic, evidence-led approach is helping students truly thrive. #Innovation #NASSAwards2025 Cavendish Education Group https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nassschools_innovation-nassawards2025-activity-7430283587284787200-_7XK?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAI0VV4B1FzS9wVdtbDaCX89oD-gHOd9_5I
