Restorative Justice is a key part of the ethos of our school. Our respectful relationships policy is based on restorative justice practices:
‘Respectful Relationships Policy 2021 -A Restorative Approach for Behaviour Management’
‘This policy outlines how we use a Restorative Approach for Positive Behaviour Management – in line with being a Rights Respecting School and a Trauma Informed School. Our high expectations are set out in our Golden Rules, created with our children each year – to enable everyone to be ready, respectful and safe at all times. We expect everyone to live our Vision, Values and Golden Rules – to grow a mutually respectful, safe, learning environment for everyone to ENJOY, ENGAGE and EXCEL in their learning.’
As stated above the school’s ethos and values are based on respectful relationships and responsibility. The staff of the school are proactive in developing these using a wide range of strategies. These include:
