Behaviour

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of behaviour, ensuring every child can learn in a safe, respectful and focused environment.

We are committed to the very highest standards of behaviour. We will stop at nothing to fulfil our promise that no child’s progress will ever be negatively impacted by the behaviour of others. It is every child’s right to study in an environment that is safe, respectful and purposeful.

The school believes sanctions help students to understand that they have fallen below our expectations and it believes that with our support they will be able to better shape their future choices. In a school which caters for children and young people with severe and complex learning difficulties there will be those who will display behaviours that challenge. It is, therefore,important that those pupils are recognised and embraced within the ethos and philosophy of the school using the Essex therapeutic thinking intervention approach.

Our behaviour strategies seek to create and sustain positive behaviours in a supportive, secure and caring environment. We ensure mutual respect, tolerance and understanding of every member of our school community.

We focus on each pupil’s emotional wellbeing and personal development.
