Behaviour
Principles
-
The Behaviour Policy is designed to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect
-
Good behaviour allows all students to learn; poor behaviour disrupts the perpetrator’s as well as others’ learning
-
Effective learning thrives on positive relationships
-
Restorative approaches are used promptly by all staff in order to encourage reflection and minimise escalation and recurrence
-
The expectations of good behaviour are underpinned by respect
-
Good behaviour is promoted by clear rules that are communicated, understood and upheld by everyone
-
Rewards and sanctions are consistently applied by all staff
