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)
