We have recently rewritten our Behaviour Policy, which is now called our Expectations and Relationships Policy. The policy is underpinned by the latest research and places a strong emphasis on the importance of positive relationships between pupils and staff, and between pupils and their peers. Rather than focusing primarily on consequences, our approach is centred on teaching children how to understand, identify and manage their emotions, develop self-regulation and make positive choices. This reflects research from the Education Endowment Foundation, which shows that social and emotional learning can have a positive impact on pupils’ relationships, attitudes to learning and academic progress. We believe that when children feel safe, understood and connected to the adults around them, they are better placed to learn, grow and thrive.
