Behaviour Codes & Acknowledging Achievement
Behaviour Statement
At Warren we believe that:
· We all have the right to feel safe.
· We all have the right to be treated fairly and with respect and dignity.
· We all have the right to teach and learn without undue interruption.
· We recognise that these rights bring with them responsibilities.
· We are responsible for keeping ourselves and others safe from physical
danger and verbal abuse.
· We are responsible for treating others with respect and dignity and
dealing fairly with each other.
· We are responsible for ensuring that we always work towards the highest possible standards whenever we are teaching or learning.
We realise that if we do not take our responsibilities seriously and our behaviour impinges on the rights of others there will always be consequences.
These consequences will reflect the seriousness of the action and home and school will always work closely together should persistent difficulties arise.
We know that we always have choices and we will work together to help each other make sensible decisions.
Lunchtime Code of Behaviour
We have a team of Learning Support Assistants who receive regular ongoing training in areas such as child protection, basic first aid, story telling and behaviour management. They follow the code of practice below that aims to ensure that there is a consistency of approach between the teachers and LSAs. 1. Catch the children being good. Make a point of telling the children how nicely they are playing. How you saw them being polite/kind/generous. Tell them that you heard from.... how well mannered they had been. This should be applied to all the children but especially children who need to have their good behaviour reinforced. 2. Watch out for danger signs or trigger points. Get in there and divert. Don't do this by drawing attention to what might be going wrong but praise for skills you would like to see. 3. Non verbal non-whistle warning. This is very hard outside, but try it first. The whistle should only be used if there is great danger for many children. Over used it becomes meaningless. 4. Verbal warning. This should be non-confrontational and delivered in a calm matter of fact manner. "If this behaviour continues then this will be the consequence....." 5. Time out standing inside the Nursery playground by the fence facing Reception. This now means that the child has a yellow card and this should be recorded in the green book. Five minutes should be enough. 6. Should the behaviour be repeated, discretion is now used. Another five minutes may be enough or is a red card now needed? This will depend on the severity of the offence. Three yellow cards over a 10 day period will result in a red card being issued. 7. If the child is given a red card the child will be sent in. The child will sit cross legged on the floor by Head and Deputy's office. Their name and offence will be entered in the file and signed and dated. 8. Any child receiving a red card will get a letter home informing their parents. Three red cards in one half term will result in exclusion at lunchtime for five school days. Some offences merit an immediate red card. These are: bullying; swearing which is directed at an adult; deliberate physical assault on an adult; deliberate and continued defiance; deliberate damage to property or theft; fighting; making racist remarks. |
