Behaviour and Wellbeing Support
Welcome to our parental page for behaviour and wellbeing support. At Dashwood Banbury Academy we believe that all behaviour is a form of communication and treat it as so. We acknowledge how others are feeling and aim to build a positive mind-set in order to tackle problems head on. At the core of what we believe stands our vision and values.
Emotions are a part of everyday life and self-regulation is the key to being able to realise and live by our vision and values. Self-regulation is tricky for adults at the best of times and even more so for children. When emotions are strong (there are no negative emotions) it becomes even harder to control.
We use a system created to develop language around emotions and support mental and emotional well-being which is based on the ‘Zones of Regulation’. We understand that a consistent approach to supporting behaviour is essential and aim to support parents and carers to create a support network for our pupils at Dashwood through behaviour support sessions for our families.
Parent support sessions
These free sessions are delivered by Standing in the Gap and focus on supporting your child to manage anxiety and anger.
Behaviour and wellbeing support
We are dedicated to supporting the emotional wellbeing of children and their families, ensuring a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our mission is to provide children and parents with the tools and strategies they need to build resilience and maintain positive mental health.
We believe that emotional wellbeing is the foundation for success and happiness, and we are committed to helping children navigate challenges such as anxiety, anger, grief, and significant transitions like starting or changing schools. Through evidence-based workshops, provided by Standing in the Gap, we aim to empower families and create a community where every child feels valued, supported and ready to flourish.
