Behaviour
Behaviour Workshop 2023
NORTON JUXTA KEMPSEY CE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Behaviour Principles
At Norton-Juxta-Kempsey School we believe that the management of pupil behaviour is best achieved through praise and reward. We appreciate that children are still learning about acceptable behaviour and will need guidance and support as they evolve their own internal understanding. We also want children to appreciate the consequences of their actions and that this will involve the use of sanctions if appropriate. We acknowledge that learning about acceptable behaviour is not confined just to timetabled activities in the classroom but permeates the whole of the time which children spend on the premises or engaged in school related activities.
Aims
to encourage a calm, purposeful and happy atmosphere within the school
to encourage increasing independence and self-discipline so that each child learns to accept responsibility for their own behaviour
to make the boundaries of acceptable behaviour clear and to ensure safety
to raise awareness about appropriate behaviour
to foster positive, caring attitudes
to promote a fair and consistent approach so that everybody in the school community knows their expectations
We expect our children to:
Follow the rules at all times
work to the best of their abilities, and to allow others to do the same
treat others with respect
co-operate with adults and other children
take care of property and the environment in and out of school
reflect on the values introduced during Collective Worship and apply them to everyday life
As a staff we will:
treat all children fairly, recognising their individuality and needs
raise children's self-esteem and develop their full potential
provide a challenging, interesting and relevant curriculum
create a safe and pleasant environment, physically and emotionally
use rules and sanctions clearly and consistently
Rules:
Always speak respectfully to others
Respect other people and their property
Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself
Always follow the instructions given by an adult
Values
As a church school our Christian Values are shared with all stakeholders . There are seven values: love, courage,respect,forgiveness,friendship,compassion and trust. We expect our values to permeate throughout all aspects of school life. Pupils are celebrated during Congratulations assemblies for applying these values.
Personal Skills
We also encourage the pupils to apply themselves to their learning in all aspects of school life. They are rewarded for perseverance,concentration,commitment,self-reliance and team work with House Points. We have four House Teams: Corunna, Salamanca, Peninsula and Toulouse.House Points.
