The Behaviour Curriculum
At Kingsmead School it is our view that even with excellent academic learning and an understanding of society and a plan for their place in it, unless children understand how to behave impressively and appropriately they will be disadvantaged. For this reason, we consider the teaching of behaviour to be just as significant as academic learning and readiness and is seen as our third curriculum.
Good behaviour in schools is central to a good education. At Kingsmead School we manage behaviour carefully to provide calm, safe and supportive environments which children and young people want to attend and where they can learn and thrive. Being taught how to behave well and appropriately within the context they are in is vital for all pupils to succeed personally.
Kingsmead School creates an environment where positive behaviours are more likely by proactively supporting pupils to behave appropriately. Pupils are taught explicitly what good behaviour looks like. Some pupils need additional support to reach the expected standard of behaviour and reasonable adjustments are implemented to achieve this. Creating a culture that promotes excellent behaviour requires a clear vision of what good behaviour looks like which is outlined in our behaviour policy
The behaviour expectations, practices and procedures aim to model and encourage the key values of our school.
- Rigour
- Courage
- Nurture
- Collaboration
The behaviour curriculum is divided into two sections.
Kingsmead Ready
Kingsmead Ready encompasses our approach whole school approach to teaching and learning which follows the ASPIRE initiative.
Posters in every classroom provide student friendly guidance describing the expectations of our students to maximise their learning experience and to create a positive learning environment.
Non – Negotiables
We have 5 non-negotiables that all students are expected to adhere to. Failure to do so will result in a sanction.
Some students, for example SEND students, might require reasonable adjustments to meet the non-negotiables and these are put into place accordingly.
