Behaviour Policy

Praise

Praise is an important part of our behaviour policy.  We use the recognition board daily to focus praise on whole class aspects of learning or behaviour we want to target for example listening, lining up and being polite.  Each day around 2 children will bring home a positive note.  These are given to children who have done something above and beyond that day.  At the end of the week one child from each class is awarded a headteacher certificate.  Their achievement is shared in assembly and they have a hot chocolate with Mrs Wilcox.  Please click on the link below to see who has had a certificate and what they have had it for.

Consequences

If a child breaks a school rule we give them a logical consequence.  A logical consequence means that the consequences can be a way of resolving the rule they broke.  For example if food is dropped in the dinner hall deliberately a logical consequence would be to help clean the dinner hall.  We use two types of consequence; educational and protective.

Protective Consequences

Protective consequences are consequences that protect other children.  For example if a child has hurt someone a protective consequence might be that they sit away from other children, they are given a zone at lunchtime or they are not allowed to play near other children.

Educational Consequences

Educational consequences are consequences that teach the children how to follow the rules in future.  For example if a child has hurt someone we might do a 'Thoughts, Feelings, Action' triangle with them.  This looks at what they were thinking at the time they hurt someone, how they were feeling and what action they took.  We would then have a discussion about what a better course of action might be and whether the child needs any help following this action.  Another example of an educational consequence might be teaching children games that they can play more safely.

A member of staff will speak to you if your child has been involved in a behaviour incident we feel you need to be made aware of.

Behaviour Curriculum

We feel it is important to actively teach children what our rules are and how to follow them. We have 3 rules - 'Ready, Respectful and Safe'.  Children will not necessarily know how to be ready, respectful and safe or what these words actually mean so we feel it is important to teach them what these words mean and what the behaviour would look like when they are showing ready, respectful or safe.  As a result we have introduced a behaviour curriculum.  You can view our behaviour curriculum below.  We do a big focus on teaching the behaviour curriculum at the start of the school year and revisit it throughout the year.
