Module Code: content-paragraph

Hillside Primary School is a positive and supportive school. Our behaviour policy is inspired by the principles of Therapeutic Thinking and Restorative Practice; this is reflected in our positive approaches to behaviour.

As a values-based school, our values guide children’s thinking and behaviour, teaching the importance of prosocial behaviours through our core values: Respect, Resilience, Learning, Independence, Collaboration, Self-Belief and Happiness.

At Hillside, we encourage all children to be the best they can be. Our vision is to provide all pupils with the skills and learning that they need to reach their full potential. We aim to create a love of learning through emotional and social intelligence, and a responsibility of self-regulation and respect for all. This is reflected in our motto: ‘Inspiring the Future’.

We firmly believe:
“You can’t teach children to behave better by making them feel worse. When children feel better, they behave better.” (Pam Leo)

What is Therapeutic Thinking?

Therapeutic Thinking is an approach to behaviour that prioritises the pro-social experiences and feelings of everyone within the dynamic. It focuses on how all children and young people are to be supported, particularly in terms of their emotional wellbeing and mental health; it also helps to develop an understanding of how to respond to those who may be communicating their emotions through difficult or dangerous behaviours. The Therapeutic Thinking approach is characterised by an inclusive culture, based on training and information that is underpinned by best practice, policy and plans.

What is Restorative Practice?

Restorative Practice is a strategy that encourages pupils to take responsibility for their actions, and repair any harm that they have caused. Rather than simply punishing an ‘offender’, it aims to make them take responsibility for their actions, be aware of the consequences they have caused, and feel remorseful. This strategy encourages positive relationships within the school community, empowering pupils and building their emotional literacy.
