OFSTED 2024: GOOD in all areas! “There is a really strong, inclusive culture in this school that promotes equality for all, and that is really modelled through all staff and through the leadership, because all children are welcome here and the school does everything they can to care, nurture and educate.” (OFSTED 24)

Principles on Behaviour

Our Principles on Behaviour Statement
 
  • Through our vision and Christian values, every pupil is supported to feel safe, valued and respected, and to learn in an environment where they are free from disruption.
  • All pupils, staff and visitors have the right to be treated with dignity and are protected from any form of discrimination.
  • Staff and volunteers act as positive role models, demonstrating respect, empathy and consistency in all interactions with pupils.
  • Rewards and relational consequences are used fairly and consistently by staff and volunteers, in line with the Behaviour Policy, with an emphasis on repair and reconnection.
  • The Behaviour Policy is co-owned and understood by pupils, staff, governors and volunteers, ensuring consistency across our community.
  • Exclusions are considered only as a last resort, when all other relational and supportive strategies have been exhausted, and the Exclusions Policy sets out the processes involved in suspensions and exclusions clearly.
  • Pupils are supported to take responsibility for their actions through restorative and reflective approaches, rather than through punitive measures alone.
  • Families are engaged in supporting pupils, particularly in cases of serious or persistent behaviour, to ensure home and school work in partnership for the child’s wellbeing.
 

The governing body also emphasises that violence, threatening behaviour or persistent unsafe behaviour will not be tolerated, but that all responses will be guided by the school’s trauma-informed and relational approach.
This Written Statement of Behaviour Principles is reviewed and approved by the full governing body annually.
