Children are encouraged to consider the consequences of their actions, to understand that rights and responsibilities go hand-in-hand, and to make the right choices about how they behave. Much emphasis is placed on helping and co-operating with each other. Older pupils are expected to encourage and support the younger children, and to set a good example by their own behaviour and we have a number of UKS2 pupils in leadership roles which facilitate this.

All adults are excellent role models who demonstrate our values in action and make them explicit so that children have a clear understanding of what is expected of them. We have established “What to dos” and whole-school “silent signals” for consistency and to ensure no learning time is lost.

We do not tolerate rudeness, aggression or bullying from anyone in school.  Where behaviour occasionally may fall short of our high expectation, we have a clear reminder system to support children to make good choice.  Our 3 school rules are simple, yet all-encompassing:

• Follow instructions
• Use positive language
• Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself
