Crew
Introducing CREW!Relationships are incredibly important at Fishbourne Primary School – we recognise that by knowing our children and families well, we are in a really good position to meet their needs and take care of their wellbeing. _________________________________ Crew is a spirit, a way of being. To be "Crew" means to help each other, to be accountable for your own actions and take responsibility for everyone's wellbeing around you. Crew means everybody pulling together, thinking together and supporting each other to do things bigger and better than we thought possible. Crew is a place where character development, collaboration and positive relationships are intentional, assuring success for all our school family. It’s a structure that fosters a sense of belonging and a place where we can be our best selves while lifting others to achieve more than we think possible. Crew enables us to nurture effective learners, ethical people and contribute to making the world a better place to be. |
Our culture of Crew begins with adults who live out the school’s vision and values, creating structures that intentionally sustain these attributes.

A CREW meeting takes place every morning, with children coming together in groups of 10-15 with a CREW leader who facilitates discussions and connections between the children. Each day there is a different focus to CREW which is planned deliberately and carefully to provide the children with a wealth of opportunities.

Circle up* & Check in Begin each Crew session by inviting the children to respond to a stimulus so that each voice around the circle is heard and valued. |
Appreciations - Children could recognise and share enjoyment of someone that has gone above and beyond and made their world a better place. Apologies - Children could reflect on their actions and the negative impact they might have had, choosing to say sorry. Stands - Children could take a firm position on an issue or express an opinion. These should be behaviour and solution focused. |

Staff Crew meet every Wednesday afternoon and use this as an opportunity to check in followed by appreciations, apologies and stands. Once a term, an extended staff Crew session takes place with an annual INSET day set aside for Crew connections.
