Parent Briefing on Internet Safety

Please attend the parent briefing on 21st June 2022 to review how to support keeping your children safe at home when using the Internet.  5pm at the School.

Parent Briefing session will be held on Monday 4th October 2022 at 5pm at Murrow school.  Please come along to hear about our plans for the year.

Behaviour Policy

Our new behaviour Policy is being rolled out in the Spring term.  We hosted a parent forum to discuss this with parents and also explain the concepts that will underpin it.  

The Ethos:- 

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential.

Pro - Social behaviour

We will continue to be a school where positives in behaviour are praised.  Our Team points awards have been re-energised.  Our Learning Powers Award will be acknowledged differently.  We want children to behave in a pro-social way and we will support them in this.

Voice of the Child

Children are not the people of tomorrow, but are the people of today.

They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect.

They should be allowed to grow into whoever they are meant to be.

‘The unknown person’ inside each of them is our hope for the future.

Janusz Korczak (1879 -1942) 

Inclusive Setting

This is what we are striving for.  Supporting each child in their own unique way so that they have the same opportunities and chances to succeed in life.

Students and staff and parents have come to understand fairness solely as equal treatment, giving everyone the same and obsession with standardisation.

Treating everyone the same is anything but fair, what equal treatment does is ignore, erase and dismiss our differences and further promote existing privilege.

Equality is treating everybody the same

Equity is giving everyone what they need to achieve success

Any classroom may be made up of any number of learners with differing learning styles including predominantly visual learners, predominantly auditory learners or predominantly tactile learners often referred to as kinaesthetic learners.

These learners will process information in very different ways and as such have very different needs.

Scripts

Staff will be trained and have support in using consistent scripts to all children 

This is the script for a restorative conversation
