Relationships for Learning

Baldragon Academy refreshed approaches to promoting positive behaviour and relationships

Our intent

At Baldragon Academy, closing gaps in attainment and raising attainment for all remains our main priority.  We do this by adopting a learner centred approach which starts explicitly with the provision of universal support within all aspects of learning and teaching.  Our school values underpin everything that we do at Baldragon Academy.  Our agreed values of fairness, honesty, responsibility, and achievement are built on a foundation of respect.  With respect, we work together and achieve more.

Through the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence, we recognise the need for all learners to know themselves as individuals and to develop their relationships with others positively, in families and in communities. Therefore, underpinning our approaches to positive relationships and positive behaviour management, is our commitment to enabling all learners to become Responsible Citizens.  In doing so, we aim to promote a respect for others and a commitment to participate responsibly in political, economic, social, and cultural life.

The Impact

With a consistent approach to putting this policy into practice, we will improve: 

•   Presence - Attendance and punctuality.

•   Participation - Learning, teaching and assessment within a safe environment; respect and ambition within our school community; internal and  external communication.

•   Progress - Attainment and achievement; positive and sustained leavers destinations.

And we will reduce: 

•   Non-cooperation

•   Conflict

•   Bullying

•   Intimidation

•  Aggression

•  Truancy levels

•  Exclusion levels
