School Behaviour & Rewards

Beacon of Light School Ethos

The school aims to:

  • Create an environment which encourages, reinforces, and rewards good behaviour.
  • Define boundaries and acceptable standards of behaviour.
  • Encourage consistency of response to both positive and negative behaviour.
  • Promote self-esteem, self-discipline, resilience, and positive relationships.
  • Ensure that the school’s expectations and strategies are widely known and understood.
  • Encourage the involvement of both home and school in the implementation of this policy.

The whole school ethos is built on a kindness model which encompasses principles including restorative approaches such as collaborative problem solving, unconditional positive regard, building personal resilience, structures, and routines.

A relational approach to behaviour is favourable to one based solely on rewards and sanctions. Strong positive relationships should be a core value of every member of the Beacon of Light community with all having the opportunity to “Learn more, do more, be more."
