Great Abington Primary School uses a therapeutic approach to behaviour which assists the school in fulfilling its Values, Personal Qualities and Vision by:
We believe that pro-social behaviour and self-discipline are based on mutual knowledge and respect. Positive affirmation should have a place in achieving prosocial behaviour, but it must be recognised that consequences will result when pupils do not accept and follow the behaviour expectations and rules of the school.
Acceptable standards of behaviour require us all to model by good example. High standards for politeness are expected. Respect is given and expected in return. We believe respect is fundamental to all positive relationships and is taught by modelling.
Intrinsic to this approach is the additional belief that parents/carers, pupils and staff are all involved in a home/school partnership.
