Element 4.1 Safe and supportive learning enviroment

• Pupils are supported as they take creative risks.
• Pupils appraise their own learning.

Pupils need freedom and often encouragement to make both simple and complex choices. The consequences of mistakes should be as realistic as possible, and responsible conduct should be rewarded as naturally as possible. The school environment must be safe and supportive so that pupils are secure enough both to appraise their own strengths and weaknesses, and to risk succeeding and failing as they endeavour to advance their Learning for Sustainability.
