It is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued, safe and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The school behaviour policy is therefore designed to support the way in which all members of the school can live and work together in a supportive way.

Our Key principles

• The school expects every member of the school community to behave in a considerate, respectful way towards others.
• We aim to treat all children fairly and apply this behaviour policy in a consistent way.
• This policy aims to help children to grow in a safe and secure environment, and to become positive, respectful, responsible and increasingly independent members of the school community.
• We will develop the values of responsibility, respect, tolerance, friendship, perseverance, kindness, honesty and fairness along with developing the skills of collaboration, team work, empathy, communication, listening, negotiating and leadership.
• We will work together with parents, pupils, staff and outside agencies to achieve our goals.
• We will share our behaviour expectations with the pupils and use supportive feedback and corrective actions systems appropriate to the age group.
• We will ensure the system of supportive feedback and corrective actions apply to all children regardless of gender, ability, disability, race or religion.
• We will continually reflect on our procedures to ensure teaching and learning styles are appropriate and match the requirements of the curriculum, teaching behaviour and self-management skills in PSHRE lessons.
• We will aim to create a classroom ethos where pupils feel safe, accepted, respected, can focus on learning and positive relationships are formed.
