At Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, "everyone is welcome". Our school family is dedicated to fostering a caring, inspiring environment where every child can thrive and achieve their full potential. We celebrate diversity and cultivate a strong sense of belonging among our children, families, and staff through our Christian ethos. Together, we nurture courage, fellowship and creativity, empowering everyone to learn, achieve, and grow with confidence. We believe in the power of learning together, supporting one another and caring for the wider world every step of the way.

The purpose of the Behaviour Curriculum is to teach, model and practise the behaviours that enable every child to thrive academically and socially, preparing them for the world beyond Freemantle. The curriculum is built from the school’s values and expectations, ensuring that these behaviours are taught explicitly, not left to chance.

Teach children to:

Use nonverbal gestures such as Makaton prompts in lower school to praise those using Active Listening/STAR so that it becomes a social norm within the classroom.
