At Litcham School Primary Phase, we take a preventative approach to behaviour management. Every adult in our school is encouraged to look beyond behaviour and to be curious about children’s needs. All children will be offered compassion and co-operative learning with a caring adult.
Our vision is that we will support children to feel heard and understood and that this will allow them to develop the skills to overcome obstacles as they grow. We have a positive and inclusive approach to managing emotions and well-being, which is built on recognising that all behaviours are driven by emotions. With this in mind, we work hard to develop emotional intelligence leading to our pupils developing emotional literacy. We believe that no child wants to behave in a negative way. It is our aim to develop a child’s capacity to manage their behaviours by educating them about the emotions they are experiencing.
Each classroom environment is designed around supporting self-regulation and will allow our children to develop greater self-awareness in social and emotional aspects of learning. Children will be encouraged and supported to explore their emotions, how this impacts on their behaviour and the behaviour of others and strategies they can employ to self-regulate. This is supported through the use of strategies such as emotion coaching, restorative practice and where necessary logical consequences.
