Behaviour

We are ultimately looking for self-discipline. Initially, however, discipline is a teacher directed activity but we aim to lead children to self control and personal accountability. We encourage this by using positive rewards and praise. We actively seek the partnership of parents to encourage co-operation and support for the development and reinforcement of acceptable behaviour.

There are two fundamental entitlements which form the basis of our school approach to discipline.

1. Every child has the right to learn without disturbance from others in a quality environment.

2. Every teacher has the right to teach.

Our Objectives are:

• To develop pupils self-discipline and self control;
• To enable pupils to be "on task" with their learning;
• To encourage accountability for their behaviour;
• To encourage the individual child to recognise and respect the rights of others;
• To promote co-operation as well as responsible independence in learning;
• To promote the values of honesty, fairness and respect for others etc.
