At the start of each school day, staff meet and greet pupils, creating important opportunities for pupils to share how they are feeling. The academy recognises that some pupils may not be able to verbalise their emotions; therefore, we follow the principle that ‘all behaviour is communication. During morning tutor time, pupils receive breakfast on arrival and participate in a range of learning activities from our tutor time toolkit before lessons begin.

At the end of the day, pupils spend time with their class tutor to review their learning experiences. This approach ensures that staff are responsive to each child’s needs from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave school.
