Behaviour

At Cambridge Road we want to create an atmosphere where everyone involved in school is treated with respect, courtesy and fairness regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality or disability. We believe good behaviour is essential for personal, social and academic development. It does not happen by accident. It must be nurtured, guided and reinforced and is the responsibility of everyone who is involved in the school community: pupils, staff, parents and governors.

We strive to ensure that we take positive steps to promote high standards of behaviour within the classroom and around the school.

❖ The school expects every member of the school community to behave in a considerate way towards others.

❖ We treat all children fairly and apply this behaviour policy in a consistent way.

❖ This policy aims to help children to grow in a safe and secure environment, and to become positive, responsible and increasingly independent members of the school community.

❖ The school rewards good behaviour, as it believes that this will develop an ethos of kindness and co-operation. This policy is designed to promote good behaviour, rather than merely deter anti-social behaviour.

Emotional deregulation occurs when a learner is unable to manage their emotional responses. They may find it difficult to soothe themselves when they feel overwhelmed by strong emotions and find find it difficult to return to ‘normal’ after these feelings arise.
