Behaviour Policies

Statement of Behaviour Principles

• Every pupil understands they have the right to feel safe, valued and respected, and to be able to learn free from the disruption of others

• All pupils, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination

• Staff and volunteers set an excellent example to pupils at all times

• Rewards, sanctions and reasonable force are used consistently by staff, in line with the behaviour policy

• The behaviour policy is understood by pupils and staff

• The suspensions and exclusions policy explains that exclusions will only be used as a last resort, and outlines the processes involved in suspensions and exclusions

• Pupils are helped to take responsibility for their actions

• Families are involved in behaviour incidents to foster good relationships between the school and pupils’ home life

The Board of Trustees also emphasises that violence or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated in any circumstances.
