Behaviour as Communication

We share a vision for positive behaviour across our schools and ensure this is informed by evidence-based practice such as emotion coaching, restorative approaches and trauma-informed and attachment aware practice. 

Often the behaviour presenting externally can be an indicator of an unmet need. By remaining professionally curious regarding a student’s behaviour, we can seek to understand the reason for any changes and implement the right support whilst providing healthy challenge to help a student be the best version of themselves.
