Relationships and Beahviour Approach
We aim to create a welcoming, caring environment where relationships are at the heart of our work. We believe that learning happens best when there are strong relationships between pupils and between our staff and pupils. To ensure this, we seek to establish a calm and supportive environment where our children feel safe, valued and listened to. We want our pupils to know how to live their one life in a healthy, safe and happy, knowing how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. We teach children to do what is good and right in the hope that if they know better, they choose better.
We refer to the "Traffic Light System in our Minds" when supporting our children, teaching them how to be their "best selves" and to come to school "ready" because it is "who they are".
This is linked to our "One Life" PSHE curriculum, which has shaped a whole-school ethos where children's mental health and well-being is prioritised.
