DISCIPLINE
We want our children to be happy, safe, confident, caring and thoughtful of others.
However we are not perfect all the time. So how do we deal with problems?
Firstly any problem which arises in the classroom, is dealt with by the class teacher.
Problems at playtime are dealt with by the teacher on duty or by the lunchtime supervisors, who may call upon senior staff if necessary.
More serious and frequent misbehaviour such as bullying will be dealt with by the headteacher. Dialogue with parents is essential.
We have high expectations of conduct and effort in normal circumstances. Children, under stress, often exhibit behavioural problems. We can help and understand the child's misbehaviour if we are informed of any problems at home. Please keep in touch with us - confidentiality will be respected.
Positive behaviour is strongly encouraged throughout the school. Praise is used to support good behaviour.
SCHOOL RULES
1. Always be polite and look after your belongings and your school.
2. Stealing, being unkind and hurting other children are not allowed. We will have to tell your parents.
