Behaviour
Our guiding principles for behaviour at our school are:
- We support our pupils to reflect about and learn from their behaviours.
- We want our pupils to be ready for life outside of school.
- We always aim to be fair but this does not necessarily mean equal.
- We believe that consistency and predictability support our pupils to feel safe.
- We believe that pupil-staff relationships are central.
In order to maintain consistency and predictability, we have a set of rules for behaviour. They are as follows:
- We follow instructions from adults.
- We are kind, polite and respectful to everyone.
- We keep our hands, feet and objects to ourselves.
- We hand in any mobile phones or similar devices on entry to school.
- We move around the corridors calmly and without disturbing others.
Praise
We focus on the positive as much as possible with our pupils including the following:
- Individual, subtle praise
- Praise postcards
- Phone calls home
We believe pupil input is central to a successful praise system and work with our pupil council to develop this.
Behaviour system
- Regulation – this is our first priority, the zones of regulation are integral to this.
- Reflection – we find out why the behaviour happened.
- Consequence – action.
- Learning point – developing strategies for the future.
