Behaviours for Learning - Foyle College

Behaviours for Learning

At Foyle College, our Behaviours for Learning infographic is prominently displayed in each of our classrooms to provide pupils with consistent learning and teaching expectations. These behaviours were developed through collaboration with Student Council members and teaching staff, ensuring that the voices of our pupils and teachers were integral to creating a robust framework of expectations. This approach aims to support our young learners in excelling across all curricular areas within Foyle College.

Our Behaviours for Learning focus on key principles that foster a productive and respectful learning environment. By setting clear guidelines, we aim to instill habits that promote organisation, respect, motivation, and self-improvement.

A Shared Responsibility

The success of these behaviours is rooted in the triangular support system involving parents and carers, school staff, and pupils. By working together, we aim to create an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to develop into lifelong independent learners.

By embedding these expectations into our daily routines, we prepare our pupils not only for academic success but also for future challenges, equipping them with skills that extend beyond the classroom.

We invite parents and carers to continue supporting these behaviours at home, ensuring a cohesive approach that maximises student development and success.
