Code of Behaviour

Each class makes up class rules/class charter at the beginning of the year which everyone agrees will assist learning and support a happy classroom environment. In addition, there are school rules and values which are contained in the school prospectus and behaviour policy.

There is an expectation of high standards of personal behaviour and respect for others which will be encouraged and supported by parents.

Children’s achievements are celebrated in a special Celebration Assembly held every Friday. They find this very enjoyable and motivating. Rewards also include: ‘spotties’ certificates, postcards, texts home, praise and the opportunity to share their work with other staff and children. Considerate behaviour is also noticed at break and lunch times.

At Lily Lane everyone has the right to:

• feel safe, cared for and respected
• be able to learn to the best of his/her ability and to develop whatever skills he/she possesses
• be treated equally irrespective of gender, race, physical characteristics or any other factors
• be able to learn and play without disruption.

Everyone is expected to:

• be responsible for their own behaviour
• respect the rights of others
