In view of these expectations, children are praised for making right choices and if wrong choices are made, each child has a sheet in the class behaviour file and a note is made of any inappropriate behaviour and subsequent action/s. Any member of staff can comment on any child and we hope for the seven years they are with us the sheet only records positive events. If, after the child has been spoken to, the inappropriate behaviour continues, the sanctions taken by the school will include staying in at breaks and dinner times, with direct supervision by staff at these times. Parents will be contacted by letter if there are 3 entries in the file. Repeated wrong choices will eventually lead to a 1-day exclusion after parents are sent Letter 3.
We also aim to be seen looking for the positive behaviour with children, so we have a Class Victory Log, where any comments can be made by staff and visitors, about some special events or work they have seen. Certificates are also given out on a Friday for excellent achievements or behaviour.
The Learning Mentors have also developed an “Always Club” where 2 children from each class are allowed to go and have a dinnertime with special games and activities. In addition, every Friday dinnertime each teacher chooses 2 children who have been “Always Good” to go and have their dinner with the Learning Mentors on the Always table in the canteen.
Each child has the chance to earn Teampoints for excellent work, attitudes, example or behaviour, and at the end of each half-term a cup is awarded to the school team with the highest score that Half-term. |
