The Belsteads School, Back Lane, Little Waltham, Essex, CM3 3PP
At The Belsteads School, we have a Relationship Policy rather than a traditional Behaviour Policy, built around mutual respect across our school community.
We believe in creating “connections, not corrections”, helping our students develop the self-regulation, resilience, self-esteem and confidence they need to thrive both in school and beyond.
Richard talks about how we view behaviour through our understanding of trauma and brain development. He also discusses the importance of language when helping our students to regulate.
Laura and Becky discuss how we use Team Teach: a de-escalation technique to help our students remain regulated and ready to learn.
Sophie talks about how we incorporate The Zones of Regulation in our daily practice.
