At Highfield, positive behaviour is explicitly taught, modelled, and embedded throughout the day in a way that reflects the unique needs and developmental journey of each student. We use a range of supportive strategies including real-time teaching moments, structured routines, individual plans, and visual supports. Behaviour is taught through both the curriculum and personalised approaches, with a focus on fostering intrinsic motivation and long-term personal growth.
A strong, respectful school culture underpins our approach, with positive relationships at its core. Staff consistently model valued behaviours, give specific praise and feedback, and celebrate progress over time. Achievements are recognised in a variety of meaningful ways, including postcards from the Headteacher, certificates, and home-school communication. Together, these strategies support every student in developing the insight, skills, and motivation to thrive within and beyond school.
