How the academy helps us learn when things do not go well
There will be occasions when a pupil will display behaviour that is not aligned with the golden rules, and therefore must be appropriately challenged. Although not exhaustive, the academy will use the following learning/reflective opportunities:
-
- Logical consequences – this may include catching up on any missed learning, helping to repair damage to property, an apology etc
-
- Restorative practice – Listening to others to understand their point of view and how they feel
-
- Reflection time
- How all adults in school support us to get things right
-
- Staff listen to us
-
- Staff make us feel safe
-
- Staff remind us what is expected
-
- Staff model good behaviour
-
- Staff praise us when we make good choices
-
- Staff understand what helps us as individuals
-
- Staff communicate with us in ways we understand
