Prosocial Relationships Policy

We have chosen to call our Behaviour Policy a Relationships policy, because it is about all of our relationships, between all stakeholders of the school, and not just about those between pupils. Our Prosocial Relationships policy is based on an expectation of good behaviour and positive relationships within a secure, caring and inclusive environment supported by a therapeutic approach. We emphasise the ways in which we can foster such a prosocial atmosphere, stressing the need for mutual respect, tolerance and understanding of every member of our School community.
While other factors, such as pupils’ home backgrounds, affect their behaviour, School-based influences are also very important. The most effective Schools seem to be those that have created a prosocial atmosphere based on a sense of community and shared values. Our school follows both the Thrive approach and the Therapeutic Thinking therapeutic approach to supporting children. This is reflected throughout our relationships policy.
