Establishing a culture of nurture that promotes positive learning behaviours
Staff collaborate well across the school. They work closely with pupils and parents to evaluate the provision for pupil well-being and, as a result, staff have a strong understanding of pupils’ emotional and well-being needs. Leaders ensure that all staff access a wide range of effective professional learning activities that develop their ability to support pupils and their colleagues. Staff arrange highly effective support programmes that include individual sessions and purposeful group activities that promote pupils’ ability to reflect on their thoughts and feelings. The learning environment indoors has been redesigned skilfully to promote the use of safe spaces where calming colours, tactile resources and ‘mood lighting’ create an ambience that supports pupils’ well-being successfully. Pupils feel cared for and ready to learn and thrive.
