Everyone agreed pupil engagement was an issue. In the strategic talks that followed our school, Beacon Academy, joining the Wellsprings Academy Trust, we identified that a new behaviour initiative was needed in order to change.
Even the students had complained about our behaviour policy in the pupil voice survey, saying that more emphasis was placed on sanction than reward.
We decided on “positive progress”, a three-pronged approach to improving behaviour thorough positive praise in order to enhance outcomes for pupils.
The three parts of this approach are positive praise, positive recovery and rewards. This academic year we have seen significant improvement in engagement to learning through successful implementation of the positive progress project.
