Policy/Procedure

What it covers
Behaviour Policy

Aims to provide basis for the development of a positive, whole school ethos towards behaviour. Includes roles and responsibilities of parents in ways such as the home/school agreement. Also outlines the responsibilities of the Headteacher, staff, governing body and the children. Shows how the governing body will evaluate the impact of the policy. It also covers rewards and sanctions as well as whole school rules and rules for specific areas of the school.

Code of conduct

This is guidance for all staff, governors and volunteers. It aims to make them aware that the welfare of children is paramount ad working practices must be open and transparent. All adults at the school have a duty of care to the children.
It offers guidance on confidentiality, abuse of trust, dress and appearance, communication, physical contact, behaviour management and photography.
Rewards and sanctions

There are a range of rewards to reinforce good behaviour, such as verbal praise, stickers, class reward charts, marble jars and special mentions in a weekly celebration assembly.
There are a chain of sanctions to be observed. The first point of contact should be the class teacher with general reinforcement that the behaviour is unacceptable. If necessary this should be followed by a warning and a particular sanction such as missing some playtime. The next stage would be to refer the child to another member of staff. On rare occasions when the inappropriate behaviour persists then it may be beneficial to refer to the Headteacher when parents can be called. In extreme cases there are formal exclusion procedures
