Whole School Programmes

A.I.M. for the S.T.A.R.s.

Our overarching positive-behaviour programme. The thinking process children use every day.

The routine

Acknowledge · Identify · Make a choice.

Three steps children learn in EY1, practise every morning, and carry through life.

The three tools

How A.I.M. works in practice.

A.I.M. runs on three classroom tools, each mapped to one of the Three Pillars.

  • Mood Meter · Heart

    Children name how they are feeling — in colour, in word, and on a four-quadrant chart. The first step of Acknowledge.

  • S.T.A.R. Matrix · Character

    The expectations matrix — what S.T.A.R. looks like in the classroom, playground, bus, and library. The anchor for Make a choice.

  • Meta-Meter · Mind

    Children reflect on their own learning — what worked, what didn’t, what they’ll try next. The engine of Identify.
