At All Saints we recognise that the Mental health and Wellbeing is imperative to the development of our learners. Giving children the correct emotional literacy experiences so that they are confident at talking about their feelings is so important and we achieve this using the Zones of Regulation.

These feelings are catagorised into four different colours which become:

We manage children’s behaviour in school using a Behaviour management scheme called ‘It’s Good to be Green’.

Although primarily aimed at teachers, the following video does a wonderful job of explaining the scheme. Please also find a link to our school behaviour policy below:
