We have high expectations where children’s behaviour is concerned and will not tolerate rudeness, aggression or bullying from anyone in school. Our aim is to encourage an atmosphere which gives positive messages about our attitude and values in order to establish and maintain acceptable standards of behaviour and discipline. This means helping children to establish self discipline and to see the need to be orderly, considerate, polite and respectful to others, and to be honest.

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.

All adults are expected to provide good role models for children.

Young children need support and a good example from home and school while they learn how to manage themselves. Positive attitudes such as the fostering of self-esteem will be encouraged at all times. It is important that home and school work together to achieve our aims. Every school needs to have some rules and to make sure that they are followed if children are to be safe and have good opportunities for learning.
