At Ash Grove School, we foster a culture that promotes positive behaviour and renewed attitudes toward learning. We understand that every pupil arrives with a unique story, shaped by past experiences that influence how they engage with education and build trust with adults.
Our approach is rooted in inclusion, persistence and unconditional positive regard. Through the development of our trauma-informed practice, we support pupils in reflecting on their behaviours, aspirations and the steps needed to achieve success. We aim to help every learner rebuild their confidence and develop meaningful relationships with peers and trusted adults.
Our core principles
The expectations for behaviour across our school community are built around three key principles:
• Respect – Treating others with kindness, caring for oneself, the school environment and the wider community.
• Responsibility – Owning actions, engaging in learning, attending school regularly and being punctual.
• Pride – Taking pride in work, behaviour and striving to be the best version of oneself.
Pupils are recognised and rewarded for exceptional demonstrations of these values, helping to reinforce positive choices and celebrate personal growth.
