Home Key Information Safeguarding Covid and Testing Curriculum Parents Student Participation 6th Form Jobs Contact Nuturing Nurturing at the Sir John Colfox Academy is based around six key principles: Learning is understood developmentally, taking into account the development stage of our young people. Nurture is important for the development of well-being and this in turn involves listening and responding. All behaviour is communication. The classroom and school offers a safe base to our young people. Language is a vital means of communication with words being used to express feelings rather than actions. Transitions are significant in the lives of young people. These six principles are applicable to any age group within the Inclusion Centre and across the wider school.

Home Key Information Safeguarding Covid and Testing Curriculum Parents Student Participation 6th Form Jobs Contact Assemblies “Assemblies at the Sir John Colfox Academy combine the team building aspects of our house system, with a year group rotation that helps provide structure and focus to the academic year. Themes are chosen to encourage pupils to reflect on their own lives and and to encourage them to learn more about the past, present and future of the wider world. Regular celebrations of achievement are held at the end of each half term, where students are recognised and rewarded for their effort, attainment, participation and attendance. Themes including British Values, Acts of Kindness and Compassion encourage students to develop their own sense of morality and spirituality. Likewise, life-skills including Communication, Resilience and Leadership are fostered throughout the year, helping prepare our young people for the challenges of the future”.
