Behaviour

At Ilketshall we follow the ideas from Therapeutic Thinking approach in our management of behaviour. This approach prioritises the helpful feelings of everyone in the dynamic and recognises that  “you can’t teach children to behave better by making them feel worse. When children feel better, they behave better.”

We have high aspirations for all of our pupils and we actively nurture every child's self esteem and confidence. We therefore help them to develop an understanding of their emotions and feelings and promote empathy and sensitivity towards others. 

To help us achieve this we have three simple school rules, which are...

• Be Ready

• Be Respectful

• Be Safe

To encourage positive behaviour we have created our own behaviour curriculum so everyone is clear on what our expectations are and how they look in practice. We model this behaviour and praise those showing valued behaviours at every possible opportunity. 

To learn more about our approach please take a look at our behaviour policy and our behaviour curriculum plans.
