Acceptable Behaviour
Children are encouraged to:
• Try hard to do their best.
• Be kind and speak politely to everyone
• Respect other people, their possessions and property.
• Be helpful.
• Ask for help or tell an adult if they are unhappy.
• Accept responsibility for the things they do.
We believe that the most effective way of achieving our aims is to praise and encourage positive behaviour.
Examples of such behaviour will be praised and celebrated in class, both verbally and by receiving tangible rewards such as stickers, certificates and trophies.
For their rights to be maintained children have to take on the responsibility of following the Codes of Conduct (class rules). If children break the rules they must understand that they have chosen to do this and therefore must accept the consequences of their actions.
