At Murdishaw West, we believe that good behaviour is essential for effective learning and a positive school environment. We follow a clear behaviour policy and deliver a structured behaviour curriculum to support both staff and children in understanding and managing behaviour.

Our approach focuses on creating a predictable, safe, and inclusive environment where routines are explicitly taught and reinforced. This helps all children, including those with special educational needs, to feel secure and supported.

​

We prioritise building trusting relationships, understanding children’s individual needs, and promoting emotional intelligence through strategies like emotion coaching and restorative practice. Our aim is to help children develop self-regulation skills and intrinsic motivation to succeed.

​

Teachers use the behaviour curriculum alongside the policy to consistently encourage positive behaviour and address any challenges promptly and fairly.

Together, these frameworks ensure that all children at Murdishaw West have the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
