Behaviour and Attitudes

Philosophy
All children need a well-ordered, disciplined environment in which to learn and develop their self-control, respect and appreciation of others. We believe that in order to promote good behaviour, and thus work to the best of their abilities, children need to be offered positive role models who embody Christian Gospel values. They need to be taught how to behave well and appropriately within the context they’re in. Children with additional needs will have reasonable adjustments in place to support them before the behaviour policy is applied.
Aims
- To encourage a safe, calm, purposeful and happy atmosphere within school. The behaviour policy is a “key system” to support safeguarding.
- To foster positive, caring attitudes towards everyone, where achievements at all levels are acknowledged and valued.
- To encourage increasing independence and self-discipline so that each child learns to accept responsibility for his/her own behaviour.
- To ensure safety by making boundaries of acceptable/appropriate behaviour clear.
- To create a common sense of direction and feeling of purpose for pupils, staff and parents.
- To identify quickly those children who need additional support and put strategies in place to support them.
- To ensure that all pupils, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination and policies reflect the duties of the Equality Act 2010.
- To ensure that our children recognise Gospel values as a model for good behaviour.
- To ensure all staff are relational and restorative in their interactions.
We understand as a school that a restorative approach to behaviour is the best way to support children
