Children’s Rights as outlined in the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) are fundamental to a good school ethos.  Adults in our school will work with young people to ensure they are aware of their rights and fully respect the rights of others.  Therefore, the approach within Middlefield School is to build a positive ethos that demonstrates care and respect for all.  

The smooth running of Middlefield School requires a high standard of behaviour from all within it.  We appreciate the support of parents and carers in helping us to achieve this.  All pupils are required to behave well and respect their own safety and that of others.  This is also important on journeys to and from school. 

In line with Glasgow’s policy on promoting Positive Relationships we employ a range

of systematic approaches based on improved relationships, engagement, motivation

and emotional well-being.

• Solution Oriented Interventions and Approaches
• Restorative Approaches
• Motivation-based Approaches
• Emotion Works and Talking Mats
• nurturing approaches

All our staff are trained and annually re-accredited in CALM (crisis and aggression limitation and management).

All of our young people have an individual Risk Assessment and Communication Passport which is regularly reviewed, evaluated and updated.

Incidents are recorded for Health and Safety purposes and carefully monitored.

Strategies based on motivation are led by the young person’s specific needs, likes and interests.
