The behaviour mentor is responsible for supporting the head of year and behaviour manager in providing excellent pastoral care to a specific year group and to support the behaviour team with school behaviour systems.
At Highlands School we have high expectations of student behaviour. The core principle of our approach to behaviour is ‘prevention before sanction’. This means we place a high level of emphasis on routines and the consistent application of our behaviour policy so that students do not reach the point where they need to be sanctioned. We use STAR expectations (sit up, track the speaker, ask and answer questions, respect those around you) as our core classroom expectations, to ensure that students can focus on their learning. Centralised detentions and an on-call system reduces teacher workload and ensures that all teachers are well supported by clear and effective behaviour systems.
Highlands school has a large and experienced pastoral team, all of whom play a crucial role in ensuring excellent student behaviour and pastoral care. Each year group has a head of year and a behaviour mentor. The pastoral team is also supported by a wellbeing assistant, a behaviour manager, a safeguarding manager and a safeguarding and inclusion officer.
Highlands is an ‘Outstanding’ school (OFSTED 2011, 2014 and 2024) at which students consistently outperform national expectations in terms of both attainment and progress. Outstanding outcomes provide our students with the opportunity to continue their studies at prestigious institutions; students at Highlands regularly receive offers from medical schools, Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. Colleagues joining Highlands are joining one of the most popular and successful schools in North London.
The work we do at Highlands is underpinned by our values: determination, aspiration, respect and equality (DARE).
We are committed to attracting top talent to our school and welcome applications from all members of the community.
