Behaviour

As per the 'Parent Handbook'.

The school has high standards of conduct and expects all children to behave in a sensible, responsible and safe manner at all times and to have regard for the feelings and well-being of others. It is important that parents help children to understand that these rules extend into the playground and beyond school. Children should walk quietly about the school with consideration for others. They are expected to be polite and well mannered to each other and to all adults. Children must not bring in toys, games or other personal possessions to school, unless asked to do so by their teacher.

Children are reminded of the three school rules; Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe.
Children will be reminded of these rules, and will be supported in a nurturing calm environment. The nurturing approach to education offers a range of opportunities for the children to engage, giving them the social and emotional skills to do well at school. We are proud to be a NurtureUK school.

Bullying and racism are not tolerated and children are encouraged to report any incident appropriately and sensibly. All incidents are followed up and the school has a duty to record and report any proven incidents to the Governors and the Local Authority.

Raising the profile of good behaviour is important to us and we do this in a variety of ways.

We have celebration worship. These collective worships also provide an opportunity to celebrate learning within and outside school. Certificates are awarded to the children.

By building a supportive dialogue, the school works collaboratively with parents so that our children receive consistent messages. If the school has to use reasonable sanctions, we will endeavour to inform parents quickly. Some staff have received Team Teach training and we use positive handling techniques.
