Behaviour

Behaviour  

At St Mary and St Chad CE First School, we are committed to creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment where all children can thrive. Our behaviour policy outlines the expectations for pupils and how we support them to meet these standards. 

 

Our Three Key Rules 

Children are expected to: 

• Be Ready 
• Be Safe 
• Be Respectful 

 

Encouraging Positive Behaviour 

We reward good behaviour through verbal praise, house points, learning tickets, golden book entries, merit awards, and the Flying High Award. Children with consistently good behaviour enjoy end-of-term treats. 

 

Responding to Misbehaviour 

Staff respond to poor behaviour fairly and consistently. Sanctions may include verbal reminders, time out, missing playtime, report cards, or in serious cases, removal from class or suspension. We always aim to understand the cause and support the child. 

 

Support for Pupils 

We help children improve their behaviour through conversations, behaviour goals, and reintegration support. Extra help is provided for children with special educational needs (SEND). 

 

Bullying 

Bullying is not tolerated. We take all incidents seriously and follow our anti-bullying policy to ensure a safe environment for all.

 

How Parents Can Help 

We encourage parents to support our behaviour policy, communicate any concerns, and work with us to help their child succeed. 

 

Mobile Phones 

Children are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school unless agreed with the headteacher in exceptional circumstances. 

 

Special Educational Needs (SEND) 

We make reasonable adjustments for children with SEND and provide tailored support to help them meet behaviour expectations. 

 

Monitoring and Review 

Behaviour is regularly monitored by school leaders and governors to ensure fairness and effectiveness.
