Each year we update our behaviour policy so that it is inline with government behaviour expectations and aligned with our school values.  The principles behind the policy are set by the Governing Board.

From September, we will be working with the children to introduce a common language for describing feelings and emotions. This is based on 'Zones of Regulation'. Children in Nursery and Reception will be introduced to these by using the book 'The Colour Monster'. We will be holding a parent workshop in the autumn term all about this, so look out for the date.

 

The Zones of Regulation® is a framework for teaching children strategies for emotional and sensory self-management. The zones help children identify how they are feeling in the moment according to their emotions and level of alertness, as well as guide them to strategies to support regulation. There are four colours or ‘Zones’ blue, green, yellow and red. 

 

Blue Zone -   used to describe low states of alertness and down feelings such as when one feels sad, tired, sick, or bored.

 

Green Zone - used to describe a calm state of alertness. A pupil may be described as happy, focused, content or ready to learn when in the Green Zone. This is the zone where optimal learning occurs.

 

Yellow Zone -  also used to describe a heightened state of alertness and elevated emotions; however, individuals have more control when they are in the Yellow Zone. A pupil may be experiencing stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.

 

Red Zone - used to describe extremely heightened states of alertness and intense emotions. A pupil may be elated, euphoric, or experiencing anger, rage, explosive behaviour, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone.
