Rights and responsibilities

We give children choices and make it clear as to the consequences of the choices they make.

Every child has the right to:

• Feel safe and secure in school at all times and in all places in and around the school.

• Be able to get on with work and to play without threat or disruption from others.

• Be treated kindly and sensitively by adults in order that he/she may learn to empathise with others and learn to treat others likewise.

• Understand differences between individuals.

Every child is responsible for:

• Care and consideration towards other people and our school.

• Considering their own actions, reflecting on them and considering strategies to use in the future.

• Adhering to the four ‘Core Values’.

Each member of staff is responsible for:

• Implementing the behaviour policy consistently.

• Modelling positive behaviour.

• Providing a personalised approach to the specific behavioural needs of particular pupils.

• Recording behaviour incidents.

The senior leadership team will support staff in responding to behaviour incidents.

Parents are expected to:

• Support their child in adhering to the school’s behaviour policy and core values

• Inform the school of any changes in circumstances that may affect their child’s behaviour.

• Discuss any behavioural concerns with the class teacher promptly.

 The headteacher is responsible for:

• Reviewing and approving this behaviour policy.

• Ensuring that the school environment encourages positive behaviour and that staff deal effectively when inappropriate choices have been made.

• Monitoring how staff implement this policy to ensure rewards and sanctions are applied consistently.

The governors’ local committee is responsible for:

• Monitoring this behaviour policy’s effectiveness and holding the headteacher to account for its implementation.
