Behaviour Principles and Core Values
At Stimpson Avenue Academy, we want to prepare our pupils for the life that lies ahead of them and believe that explicit teaching of outstanding behaviour is an integral part of this.
Our behaviour curriculum has been designed to build our pupils’ character, preparing them for a successful future. Through our behaviour curriculum, we teach outstanding behaviour through clear expectations, routines and opportunities for all staff and children to rehearse, model and refine these behaviours.
We want our pupils to understand how and why we behave and to have frequent opportunities to practise doing so, for these behaviours to become intrinsic in their day to day lives.
Our behaviour curriculum is designed to be accessible for pupils from Nursery to Year Six and is adapted to suit the needs of all pupils including those with SEND and other additional needs – we want every child to succeed.
Our core values at Stimpson Avenue Academy
At Stimpson Avenue Academy, our three core values—Kindness, Respect, and Resilience—are central to everything we do. Developed collaboratively by our entire school community, these values guide our daily interactions, relationships, and decisions.
Kindness
Kindness means thinking of others before yourself, acting in ways that make others feel happy and valued. It involves being friendly, generous, and considerate, treating everyone with fairness and respect. When we act kindly, we create a ripple effect that spreads positivity throughout our community.
Respect
Respect is about valuing everyone and celebrating our differences. It involves taking responsibility for each other, speaking and interacting courteously, and being honest, reliable, and trustworthy. Respect means listening and sharing views without rudeness or impatience, even when we disagree.
Resilience
Resilience is the ability to bounce back when things go wrong. We teach children to persevere through challenges, helping them build the strength to cope with mistakes and setbacks. Resilient children are more likely to take healthy risks, be curious, brave, and push themselves beyond their comfort zones.
