The Behaviour and Student Support Department (The BaSS) was established in September 2007 and has proved to be a highly successful addition to the school. It is situated on the school site, supporting and working in conjunction with the main ethos and aims of the school, and is committed to working with students who are experiencing behavioural, emotional and safeguarding difficulties, in whatever capacity and supporting them in all aspects of school life.

The BaSS works closely with the Special Educational Needs Department (SEND), although it is a separate department. The students are helped and supported to gain respect for other people who may have different likes, attitudes, characteristics, or who may be of another race, culture or religion. They are supported to grow in maturity and understanding of the world around them. The Department enables students to fulfil their own potential and reach the highest achievements and qualifications of which they are capable, through a broad approach to behaviour management and emotional support.

The Department uses a boundaried yet therapeutic approach for a wide range of students who may be experiencing difficulties in their lives, whilst nurturing a spirit of independence, enabling and encouraging them to learn about and understand themselves; to acknowledge and accept their own thoughts and feelings, yet be able to take personal responsibility and be accountable for their actions. The BaSS offers students positive behaviour modification systems that will equip them with different and constructive coping and behaviour management strategies, whatever their issues.

The BaSS supports and communicates with families in order to offer a consistent and fair approach to managing student behaviour and associated risks. It is also able to support and work with the teaching staff in order to achieve a fair and consistent approach with an aimof promoting equal opportunity and diversity and to be imaginative and resourceful in the support and encouragement of the students.
