Learning at North Tawton Community Primary School & Nursery
‘Behaviour for Learning’ in every classroom

What is ‘Behaviour for Learning’?
Whilst it may look different in each year group, ‘behaviour for learning’ develops the key skills children need to master to become successful learners. Our 6 key behaviours build on our growth mindset ethos and show children how they can become more confident learners, who always aspire to do their best.
Why is Behaviour for Learning so important?
To be a successful learner, each child needs to develop key aptitudes that will enable them to access all their learning to the fullest extent. Our 6 key behaviours will develop skills and attitudes to learning that will put our children in good stead for the challenges they will meet throughout their lives. We are helping to build successful futures for all our children by showing them how to be highly motivated learners.
The six key behaviours for learning at North Tawton are represented by six wonderful animals:
The Wolf - Independence
The Butterfly – Creativity
The Tortoise - Determination
The Ant - Collaboration
The Monkey – Curiosity
The Lion – Pride
Each animal comes with their own story to illustrate their behaviour.
