What is Respect? How do we demonstrate respect for others and our school?

Definition: politeness, and care shown towards someone or something.

For example:

• Using Polite Language: Saying “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.”
• Following School Rules: walking around school, following instructions when asked.
• Listening to the Teacher: Paying attention during lessons and not speaking out of turn.
• Being Kind to Classmates: Including others in games and not bullying or teasing.
• Taking Turns: Waiting patiently in line or during group activities.
• Respecting Property: Using school supplies properly and returning borrowed items.
• Admitting Mistakes: Saying sorry when they’ve done something wrong

Respect is important because it creates safe environments, builds strong relationships, and encourages cooperation among people. 

If we show respect towards all adults and our peers then we will:

• Be recognised and awarded house points.
• Be considered to receive a certificate in our Praise assembly.
• Be considered to attend the Always Club at the end of each half-term.
• Win the ‘Respect trophy’ and be rewarded with an additional 10 minutes lunchtime.
