How we manage behaviour

We have four school rules that summarise our expectations of adults and children:

• We give respect
• We show kindness
• We act with responsibility
• No matter what, we always try our best.

In the classroom we expect children will demonstrate these by:

• being polite and respectful to everyone, using their manners towards adults and children;
• getting on with their work responsibly and completing their work to the best of their ability;
• keeping all classrooms tidy;
• sharing and using materials sensibly returning them to the appropriate place;
• following the classroom rules;
• letting others get on with their learning;
• listening to and following instructions;
• raising hands to participate at appropriate times;
• helping and supporting your friend;
• not distracting others from their learning;
• being part of a team;
• being a role-model to other children;
• using silent signals to follow instructions.

In the corridors and shared areas we expect children will demonstrate these by:

• respecting other classes when moving to a different area in school;
• showing good manners around school and addressing each other politely on the corridors;
• walkingsensibly on the leftand quietly throughout school;
• holdingdoors open for adults, visitors and other children;
• keepingshared areas & corridors tidy.

In the playground we expect children will demonstrate these by:

• being kind and friendly;
• sharing;
• using appropriate language;
• keeping their hands and feet to themselves;
• playing sensibly and not putting others at risk by selfish actions;
• putting all equipment away carefully in the correct place;
• playing games sensibly without falling out;
• apologising whenthey need to;
• looking after property of the school and of other children;
• solvingproblems together;
• solving disagreements without losing their temper, going through questioning to help to find a solution without resorting to aggression/physical violence.

We use the following rewards and consequences:
