Social

Some of the ways we support social development at BSPS...

We explicitly teach social skills, through our curriculum, including our PSHE curriculum, Jigsaw, as well as through other planned opportunities during each school year.

Our restorative behaviour approach, along with our school rules are designed to avoid and resolve conflict, supporting children in developing social skills and underpinning with an understanding of how we can all best get along.

Opportunities for children to take part in activities and situations where collaboration and negotiation are integral to the outcome. This many include working with peers in class, with children across school or visitors. Children are encouraged to be confident, ask questions and explain their thinking to others.

Children are able to join in with social events such as, 'Elf Shelf', discos, school fairs and parent lunches.

Opportunities are given for children to experience the world beyond school, for example, theatre visits,  high school transition and residential visits.
