Our approach to behaviour management has always been to teach and encourage positive behaviour choices, supporting children’s self-esteem and developing positive relationships across all members of the school community. We will always initially give praise for children who model positive behaviours rather than focusing on unacceptable behaviour.

We hope that by encouraging positive behaviour patterns we can promote good relationships throughout the school built on trust and understanding, supporting all our children in developing a high level of individual and social responsibility. 

 

The key aims of the school are to continue to promote excellent behaviours: 

  • To create a culture of exceptionally good behaviour: for learning and for life.
  • To value and follow our three school rules of Ready, Respectful and Motivated.
  • To ensure that all learners are treated fairly, shown respect and to promote good relationships.
  • To use “affective language” which encourages the learner to engage positively and understand the impact of their behaviour.
  • To help learners take control over their behaviour and be responsible for the consequences of it.
  • To build a community which values kindness, care, good relationships and empathy for others.
  • To ensure that excellent behaviour is a minimum expectation for all.

 

The approach is simple:

 Our School Rules: 

 Ready, Respectful and Motivated

 

Ready – to learn.

Respectful – to everyone.

Motivated – to be the best they can be.

 

The Five Pillars of Practice

Consistent follow up

Ensuring ‘certainty’ in the classroom, and from all adults.
