Our Approach to Behaviour and Relationships
At Dulwich hamlet, we know that behaviour improves when children feel valued and connected. We prioritise getting to know each child –what motivates them, what worries them, what excites them, and what might influence their behaviour.

Praise and Rewards
We recognise that praise is one of the most effective ways to encourage good behaviour and choices. Praise is highly valued at Dulwich Hamlet, and it is always specific, meaningful, and sincere.
In addition to praise, we use a variety of rewards to celebrate and motivate students.

We teach behaviour proactively
We are explicit about boundaries, routines and behaviours, ensuring that we always have high expectations of our Hamleteers. When mistakes happen, these are treated as learning opportunities and children take ownership of their own next steps, making sure they have an opportunity to repair and restore. We teach children about natural consequences and apply logical consequences to support good behaviour
