BEHAVIOUR POLICY 2021-22 “The provider (school) has high expectations for learners’ behaviour and conduct and applies these expectations consistently and fairly. This is reflected in learners’ behaviour and conduct” (Ofsted 2019) 1. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES In line with our Christian foundation and our agreed school values, at Bishop Martin C. of E. Primary School we believe that every child has the right to be educated in a safe, caring, positive and supportive environment. We praise the positive and reward good behaviour. We believe good behaviour is the responsibility of all children, their parents and the staff. Understanding of what is acceptable and not acceptable behaviour is vital for all members of the school community. We believe that through promoting personal development of all children we can: Enable pupils to take pride in their achievement and commitment to learning, supported by a positive culture across the whole school. Help pupils become self-confident, self-aware and understand how to be a successful learner. To demonstrate our commitment to these principles, our school family has established what we call our ‘Core Principles’. They are:
Consistency and fairness Promoting positive behaviour Encourage responsibility for actions Immediate and proportionate Encourage a shared partnership between school and home A behaviour system in line with our Core Christian Values and applicable across the whole school (Behaviour Review – 21/12/2021)
