Behaviour
We Aim
- To create an environment which encourages and reinforces good behaviour
- To encourage consistency of response to both positive and negative behaviour
- To promote self-esteem, self-discipline and positive relationships
- To maintain an environment where children feel safe, secure and respected
Main Concepts
Our approach is based on 3 key concepts:
- The 4Rs (rights, responsibilities, rules and routines)
- A 4Rs restorative practice approach (Respect, Responsibility, Repair and Re-integration)
- An emphasis on behaviour as a choice, encouraging ownership of behaviour and relating consequences to the behaviour
The 4 R’s framework helps students:
- students make better choices
- keep the focus on learning
- give a sense of fairness to both praise and correction
- students take responsibility for their own behaviour and learning
- create a consistent and predictable framework
- adults to share a common theme and common language
- students know where they stand
- students feel safe
- support our Anti-Bullying Policy
All members of the School have the following rights, responsibilities, rules and routines:
Rights
- To feel safe at school
- To learn to the best of their ability
- To be treated with respect
Responsibilities
- To ensure that you allow others to feel safe at school
- To ensure that you allow everyone to learn to the best of their ability
- To ensure that you treat everyone with respect
- To attend regularly
Rules
- I will respect other people and their property
- I will do as I am asked by all members of staff
- I will be well-mannered and helpful at all times
- I will attend lessons” ready to learn”
- I will not hurt other people
Routines
It is wrong to assume that students know how to behave at certain times. As teachers we must teach them what sorts of behaviour we want to see. Always give feedback on how they are doing.
