By incorporating routine into our values, it does not mean we dictate to students strict, inflexible boundaries or set rigid timings to the day. Instead, we believe routine to be an integral part of a healthy mindset and learning environment, where learners know what to expect each day and can use this to create trust with staff and peers alike. An essential part of the Greenroom routine is involving nature in our learning, every day, whatever the weather. This helps to build a calm and emotionally-regulated outlook and allows our learners to thrive.
Respect is essential for creating healthy relationships, not just with adults but with one's social peers. We recognise the importance of treating everyone with dignity and kindness, creating an understanding and safe environment which fosters inclusion and equality for all.
Not all days are going to be easy, and we all know that life can have its challenges. That's why we include resilience at the forefront of our approach, encouraging learners to face their struggles head on with a calm energy and determination.
For individuals to truly feel content, confident and self-assured, they need to be empowered to make their own choices. Teachers at Greenroom Academy work alongside learners and their families, helping them to make decisions that allow them to achieve their potential and aspire to futures that are exciting and attainable.
