Pastoral Care: The Leesbrook Way
Our Relational Approach to Behaviour and Belonging
The Leesbrook Way prioritises setting and sustaining positively framed expectations for our pupils. When we set and sustain boundaries, we establish community agreements about the way we do things here, which supports a shared understanding of how we treat each other. When boundaries and behaviours become consistent and predictable, we build safety, trust and belonging for all in our community, including children and staff. This is the foundation of our relational culture. It empowers all members of the community to focus our attention on working together to achieve learning goals.
To establish clear expectations and shared positive behaviours, we are intentional about defining the priority moments where consistency really matters: in the classroom, in the corridor (and other social spaces), and in how we communicate. Setting and sustaining boundaries in this way is the bedrock of securing safety for all members of our community and frees up teachers and leaders to secure a fantastic learning experience for our pupils.
