Principles for good behaviour
- Good behaviour is an essential condition for effective teaching and learning to take place.
- Children who are being taught an appropriate inclusive curriculum which is varied and interesting are more likely to:
– experience success as a learner
– feel valued as school members
– want to contribute positively to the school community.
- Praise and encouragement play a crucial role in meeting our high expectations of children.
- Rules and consequences are clear; they are explained to the children and are consistently and fairly applied.
- Children understand that they have a choice in whether they choose to follow the rules or not (responsible for their own actions).
- Staff have high expectations of all children and are positive role models by demonstrating respectful attitudes towards others at all times.
- Good behaviour is everyone’s concern and school works in partnership with parents and carers.
