At our school we believe in the importance of relationships, ensuring children feel valued, safe and secure, providing a sense of connection with a member of staff and a belonging to the whole school community.

Our school reflects the values of the Essex Approach to understanding behaviour and supporting emotional wellbeing known as Trauma Perceptive Practice (TPP) alongside our school’s vision and associated values:

• Compassion and Kindness
• Connection, Belonging and Friendship
• Hope and Aspirations
• Respect

 

We endeavour to make sure that at our school these values run through all the school policies and practice.

 

Rights for All

 

Our rights are an expression of the fundamental values that we, as a community, encourage, teach and promote. To ensure everyone's rights are protected; members of the community must abide by the school rules and accept the responsibility of their own behaviour.  

Values held by our schools’ communities:                              

• A healthy school is a successful school
• Equality of opportunity and treatment regardless of gender and race
• Caring and tolerance by all members of the community to all members of the community
• Justice and fairness 
• Personal responsibility 
• To be happy and successful
• Co-operation and participation  

 

We all have the right to

• Learn or teach
• Be treated with respect
• Be safe

 

Our responsibilities are

• To respect the rights of others
• To have ownership of our behaviour
• To follow the class codes of conduct and school rules
• To respect our school environment

 

Teachers and pupils at the Templars Academy should work together to establish and maintain a learning and social environment which emphasises positive behaviour, and where care and concern for others are valued. Behaviour management is an integral part of the whole school curriculum which teaches appropriate and relevant social skills to all children.
