Well-Being Definition
At The Casco School, our nurturing approach is central to all we do. We believe students must feel safe, supported, and happy to learn effectively. We use the Jigsaw programme for personal, social, and health education, teaching emotional literacy, social skills, and resilience in an age-appropriate, mindful way, helping students lead happier, healthier lives with greater agency.
Our Behaviour Approach focuses on intrinsic motivation and understanding behaviour as communication. We foster strong relationships and a positive classroom atmosphere, where respect stems from genuine interest in the child. Through the ‘zones of regulation’, children learn to recognise and regulate their emotions independently, making better behavioural choices. We reinforce these concepts throughout the school year, encouraging independent problem-solving and providing adult support for larger challenges.
