Our Aims

We believe that when staff work in an environment where expectations are clear for all then exceptional learning can take place. We have developed a set of robust systems that This enables our schools to have a positive, safe, working environment, allowing teachers to teach and pupils to learn.

The promotion of positive behaviour

We will ensure all of our pupils gain the necessary cultural capital that will ensure they are able to have a choice-filled life. As part of this, pupils develop social and intellectual capital through exposure to key positive behaviours such as our moral values and LORIC skills that enhance their ability to succeed in life.

We believe that all pupils should be aware of the standards of behaviour expected at our Academy which are underpinned by our values. Positive relationships throughout the Academy are built on a set of shared values:

Justice – Our academy rules are fair and reasonable.
Humility – We aim to ensure that everyone in our community has a place and a voice that will be heard.
Respect – Treat others how you would wish to be treated yourself.
Courage – The quality of having strength in the face of difficulty.
Integrity – The quality of having strong values
Compassion – The quality of having concern for others.
Honesty – The quality of being truthful.
Gratitude – the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation.

We want all of our pupils, during their time with us, to ‘Aspire To Be More’ meaning that they leave us gaining the cultural capital that will enable them to have:

unlimited dreams and ideas that allow children to change the world
a vision of what they want to achieve in life and how to achieve it
a strong sense of duty, justice, responsibility, and service
care and compassion toward each other within the local community and the wider world choice filled lives and the desire and motivation to develop as a good person with humility
a positive contribution to local communities and wider society and a zest for living life to the full.

We want our pupils to do this not only because they must, but because they want to, and are mature enough to know how to do the right thing.

Pupils learn how to respond well to the challenges they face in everyday life and the values are those character traits that enable them to respond appropriately to situations.

The chart below shows the reasons why we believe pupils behave well:

It’s who I am – we afford our pupils opportunities to demonstrate our moral values in all aspects of Academy life and beyond

I want to have a great future – we want our pupils to experience all that BHA’s cultural and intellectual curriculum can offer to allow pupils to flourish

I want everyone to think positively about me – we want our pupils to demonstrate BHA’s social capital curriculum

I want praise – we want our pupils to be rewarded within the BHA’s social capital curriculum

The aim of our Behaviour Policy is to recognise pupils efforts at every level of this concentric circle which ultimately pupil behaviour reflecting moral values.
