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
Practice
How the Behaviour Policy works in practice is detailed in the following places:
- Student Planner
- Staff Handbook (including recording on SIMS)
The Policy is divided into four parts:
- Code of Conduct
- Rules for behaving outside of the classroom
- Rules for learning in the classroom
- Rewards & sanctions
The exclusion procedure is included within the Behaviour Policy and Bishop Luffa School follow the Department of Education's Guidance on Exclusions.
