Behaviour Policy

The aims of the school’s behaviour policy are to ensure that all children in school are happy, safe and able to learn.

 

The policy is based on our school values: generosity, compassion, service, endurance, trust, courage, forgiveness, honesty, hope, friendship, thankfulness and respect. 

 

Our school rules and behaviour code are based on the following verse from the Bible: ‘Do to others as you would like them to do to you’ (Luke 6:31):

 

1. In class we aim to make it as easy as possible for everyone to learn and for the teacher to teach.
2. We respect each other and treat others in the way we would like to be treated.
3. We accept that everyone is different but equally important.
4. We look after our school (our trays, our toilets and our cloakroom).
5. We respect other people’s property.
6. We walk around school at all times.
7. We put litter where it belongs.
8. We respect our environment.

 

Good behaviour is expected and celebrated. When children’s behaviour does not meet our high expectations, the following procedure is followed:

 

1. The teacher will remind the child that we expect positive behaviour at all times.
2. The child is told that they are disrupting their own learning (and perhaps the learning of others)
3. The child is removed from the classroom and will complete their work with the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher. Parents/carers will receive a text message to let them know what has happened. Parents and carers are expected to support positive behaviour in school by discussing with their child the behaviour that resulted in them receiving a text message.

 

By working together, we will give all our children the best chance of making the best possible progress in a safe and happy learning environment.

Super Learning Week

This week is our Super Learning Week, an exciting week of special learning activities organised by Mrs Martin.

 

We have a fantastic range of exciting activities including a ‘Mad Science’ show with science workshops, a Number Fun day, a Magic Show (with a workshop for the older children afterwards) and swimming for all classes from Year 1 – Year 6 in our ‘pool in the playground’ – remember to send your child in with their swimming kits when they need them!

 

During the week, teachers will be having one to one discussions with each child in their class, discussing how they’ve settled in to their new class and setting learning targets.

 

There will be no Achievement Assembly this Friday.
