The children's needs are at the heart of our provision. Our whole school community is committed to enabling children to become successful lifelong learners and happy, fulfilled adults who can make positive choices about their future

Good behaviour is central to a good education.

Good behaviour is the expected norm and children should feel secure and happy in school. They should become increasingly aware of their responsibilities to themselves and to others, with moral and social values being understood and cherished. Staff, parents, governors and the community should work towards these valued goals for the children.

The behaviour management policy enables this and is characterised by particular emphasis on:

• unconditional positive regard – all individuals are valued equally by the whole school community
• the development of each child’s  capacity to regulate one’s emotions and control impulses
• the need to manage feelings in a way that enables positive choices to be made
• the consequences of actions – both positive and negative

It is based on the principles of restorative practice and has restorative approaches at the heart of its philosophy.
