We believe that children flourish best when their personal, social and emotional needs are met and underpinned by clear, developmentally appropriate expectations for their behaviour.
It is important that children consider the views and feelings, needs and rights, of themselves and others, as well as the impact that their behaviour has on people, places and objects. This is a developmental task that requires support, encouragement, teaching and modelling.
To support this, we aim to:
- Create an environment where all adults and children feel safe and secure
- Establish a code of conduct for staff and children, ensuring the school is free of bullying or harassment.
- Provide an atmosphere that maximises learning opportunities, developing a range of personal, social and emotional skills
- Promote respect and appreciation for others and their property
- Provide a fair, consistent and structured framework with clear and consistent procedures for rewards and unwanted behaviour
- Work closely with parents and carers to support the child’s development, needs and well-being
- Liaise with outside agencies and professionals if we are unable to fully meet the needs of individuals
To support our ethos and expectations, we talk about the Stanbridge Way and the Stanbridge Rules:
