At Fernielea, we have been focusing on developing strong and positive relationships with children and their families.

In School we are guided by the trauma informed approaches to working with children and supporting them to achieve their potential. We focus on emotion based approaches with staff trained in line with Connected Compassionate Communities approach.

When children require support, focus isn’t on punishing children but restoring and repairing relationships and developing strategies to prevent and improve behaviours and responses.

Please read the short guide on expectations of relationships approaches in Fernielea School.
