Behaviours for Learning

“Consistency lies in the behaviour of adults and not simply in the application of procedure. A truly sustainable consistent approach does not come from a tool kit of strategies but in the determination of every member of staff to hold firm. The key is to develop a consistency that ripples through every interaction on behaviour.”

Paul Dix

At Crofton Hammond Junior school, we adopt a relational approach to behaviour management by encouraging all adults to look beyond behaviour and be curious about children’s needs.

Our positive and inclusive approach focusses on managing emotions and wellbeing, recognising that all behaviour is communication influenced by emotions. We strive to enhance emotional intelligence through a whole school ‘BOUNCE’ approach created by the Child Therapy Service. Through this, we encourage pupils to explore their emotions, understand their impact on behaviour and learn self-regulation strategies. This is facilitated through restorative practises, self-regulation techniques and where necessary, natural, logical and protective consequences.

Our behaviour policy is underpinned by our school values of Ready, Respectful and Resilient to enable all pupils to receive learning that shapes lives and become learners who shape the future.
