SWPBS

School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

At Torquay P6 College we are committed to fostering a positive, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. Central to this commitment is our focus on School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS), a framework that promotes positive behaviour and enhances student wellbeing.

Our core expectations– Respect, Friendship and Doing your Best – are at the heart of everything we do. Through SWPBS, we ensure these values are not just words but clear behavioural expectations that shape our school culture.

The SWPBS Matrix

Our SWPBS matrix outlines clear expectations
for behaviour in different areas of the school, such as the classroom, playground, and safety online. It provides a consistent framework that supports all students to thrive, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and empowered to succeed.

By embedding SWPBS into our daily practices, we create an environment where every student can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we build a school community that truly lives by its values.

School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is an evidence-based framework designed to promote positive behaviour and create a supportive school environment. At its core, SWPBS focuses on establishing clear expectations for behaviour, recognizing and rewarding positive actions, and providing consistent support for all students.

Key Components of SWPBS:

1. Clear Expectations: We implement clear and concise behavioural expectations for students, which are communicated consistently across all areas of the school. These expectations help students understand what is required of them and how they should behave in different situations.
2. Positive Reinforcement: SWPBS emphasises the importance of acknowledging and rewarding positive behaviour. By recognising and celebrating students’ successes and good behaviour, schools encourage continued positive actions and create a more motivating environment.
3. Consistent Support: The framework provides structured support for students who need additional assistance. This includes targeted interventions and strategies to address and improve challenging behaviours, ensuring all students have the support they need to succeed.
4. Data-Driven Decisions: Schools using SWPBS collect and analyse data on student behaviour to inform decision-making. This approach helps in identifying trends, monitoring progress, and adjusting strategies to meet the needs of the student population effectively.
5. School-Wide Collaboration: SWPBS involves collaboration among all members of the school community, including teachers, staff, students, and families. This collective effort ensures that everyone is working towards the same goals and supports a positive and inclusive school culture
