3. Reflection Question.....
If you were a teacher in a school and
you knew your students were not going
to live beyond 12.......
What would you teach them?
6. “At our school we believe that children need to be
emotionally ready to learn, that is feeling safe, happy
and belonging within the school community and
beyond.
This is also true of staff, parents and other community
members. Ubuntu means to belong, to have a shared
responsibility for everyone in your community, to
care, nurture and support those in your community
and beyond.”
“Coming out of the work with the school we have
introduced the house system, and in terms of
belonging it has been a fantastic move forward in
developing an ethos in the school. It’s not a mini
Hogwarts. It is about children feeling that they
belong to more than just their year group. It gives
them amazing exposure to older students doing the
right thing, and gives those older students the
opportunity to take on roles of responsibility, almost
psudo family roles which are really good”

feeling of community”.

them.”
