Thrive Assessment Services – Helping Kids Thrive

Pippa Biggs (Pippa) is a Learning and Behaviour Specialist who understands how challenging it can be when a child struggles at school. With years of experience in education and specialist support roles, she knows what works and how to get the right help in place. That’s why she started Thrive Assessment Services, to give families access to expert assessments and practical solutions without the long wait.

Pippa and her team offer learning and behaviour assessments, therapy, and guidance to help children overcome challenges and feel more confident in school and life. Whether your child needs support with learning difficulties, attention, or behaviour, Thrive Assessment Service provides clear answers and real solutions.

Clear Answers, Real Solutions

At Thrive Assessment Services, we help families understand why their child may be struggling with learning, behaviour, or emotions. Our expert assessments provide clear insights, so you know what’s going on and how to support your child. We work closely with schools to ensure teachers have the right strategies in place, making learning easier and more successful. Plus, we make sure important information follows your child as they move through school, so they get the right support from day one.

We assess three key areas:

🔹 Learning & Educational Challenges – Identifying specific learning difficulties like dyslexia or dysgraphia through achievement and ability testing.
🔹 Behavioural & Attention Difficulties – Understanding conditions like ADHD and sensory processing challenges that may impact focus and behaviour.
🔹 Social & Emotional Development – Supporting skills like social understanding, emotional regulation, and confidence to help children feel secure and connected.

Our goal is simple: to give families answers, practical strategies, and a clear way forward, without the long wait times or stress.
