Ethos and Values
Our vision is to be an inclusive school, at the heart of the community where everyone at Beckingham Primary School THRIVES, growing into confident, happy and successful learners, inspired to make a difference and be readily prepared for their futures.
'Ensuring every child succeeds and THRIVES becoming a life-long learner, prepared for the world of tomorrow’.
Our school mission and ethos is communicated and underpinned by a set of core values and principles to ensure; Every child at Beckingham Primary School THRIVES:
Teamwork - Honesty - Resilience - Imagination - Versatility - Effort - Sensitivity
We aim to ensure all our pupils are loved, nurtured and enabled to succeed, through an atmosphere of high expectation, in order to be ready and prepared for the world and jobs of tomorrow.
Teamwork - We work with others to achieve a shared goal
Honesty - We are truthful, fair and trustworthy
Resilience - We are able to be happy and try again after something has gone wrong
Imagination - We use our own ideas to build on our learning
Versatility - We are able to adapt to new approaches and activities
Effort - We always use hard work to reach our goals
Sensitivity - We always consider the feelings of others
Our approach is based on a whole-school recognised understanding that:
Behaviour is a form of communication of an unmet need. Therefore, to change behaviour, we must respond to the unmet need.
Children’s behaviour cannot be fully understood in isolation, without considering their individual influences.
Relationship-based, restorative approaches offer an evidence-based alternative to zero-tolerance behaviour management systems.
