Our Behaviour Strategy

Our Behaviour Culture

Alongside our PSHE curriculum, each term we focus as a school on one of our core values. This exploration happens during our daily assembly curriculum, where we also discuss the British Values and the UN goals, ensuring a holistic understanding of what it means to be a responsible and engaged member of our community.

‘The Wellington Way’

Fundamentally, our behaviour culture is underpinned by kindness. We believe that learning can only thrive when a child feels happy, safe, and loved. This is our top priority at Wellington Place Primary. Our school vision is to learn, lead, achieve, and succeed – and we know that this can only be achieved when our children feel secure and supported.

Even before they start school, our children are introduced to the “Wellington Way” – our school rules that guide their behaviour. These rules are simple, yet powerful: “It’s good to be safe, it’s good to be kind, it’s good to be fair.” This is the Wellington Way. Over the summer holiday, before they start school, they are given a Wellington Bear – it is their summer project to teach their bear the Wellington Way.

Transition and Belonging

Our carefully planned transition process ensures that our children feel a sense of belonging from the very beginning. They learn the “Wellington Way” and internalise our core values, laying the foundation for a positive and productive learning experience.

At Wellington Place, we are committed to creating an environment where every child can thrive. By fostering a culture of trust, kindness, and fairness, we empower our students to become confident, responsible, and caring individuals who are well-equipped to succeed both within and beyond the classroom.
