We have created an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for themselves and encourage others to do the same. Our behaviour policy guides staff to teach self-discipline. It echoes our core values with a heavy emphasis on respect. 

The school policy’s key principles are consistency, fairness, excellent adult role modelling, the teaching of positive behaviours and restorative approaches.

AIMS OF OUR BEHAVIOUR POLICY

• ●  To create a culture of exceptionally good behaviour: for learning and for community for life.

• ●  To ensure that all learners are treated fairly, shown respect and to promote good relationships.

• ●  To refuse to give learners attention and importance for poor conduct.

• ●  To help learners take control over their behaviour and be responsible for the consequences of it.

• ●  To build a community which values care, humour, respect and empathy for others.

• ●  To promote community cohesion through improved relationships.

• ●  To ensure that excellent behaviour is a minimum expectation for all.

•  

CONSISTENCY IN PRACTICE

• ●  Consistent language; consistent response: Referring to the agreement made between staff and learners, simple and clear expectations reflected in all conversations about behaviour.

• ●  Consistent follow up: Ensuring ‘certainty’ at the classroom, phase and senior leadership level. Never passing problems up the line, teachers taking responsibility for behaviour interventions, seeking support but never delegating.

• ●  Consistent positive reinforcement: Routine procedures for reinforcing, encouraging and celebrating appropriate behaviour.

• ●  Consistent consequences: Defined, agreed and applied at the classroom level as well as established structures for more serious behaviours.

• ●  Consistent, simple rules/agreements/expectations: promoting appropriate behaviour

• ●  Consistent respect from the adults: Even in the face of disrespectful behaviours - we remain unshockable.

• ●  Consistent models of emotional control: Emotional restraint that is modelled and not just taught, teachers as role models for learning

• ●  Consistently reinforced rituals and routines for behaviour: In classrooms, around the site, at reception.

• ●  Consistent environment: Display the quality of a good primary school, consistent visual messages that echoes our core values
