A Culture Shift

At Freegrounds Junior School, we have adopted a therapeutic approach to behaviour called the Empowerment Approach. Implementing a therapeutic approach across our school requires a cultural shift – it is not just about changing some of our approaches and methods.  As with any school improvement strategy, it will take time to bring about long-term change, several years rather than several months.  As a result, this behaviour policy is likely to evolve and develop as our staff team and school community become really proficient with the approach.
