Woodheys Primary School WOODHEYS PRIMARY SCHOOL - POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR POLICY Woodheys Primary School POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR POLICY For children 2016. Bullying is never right. If you are being bullied tell someone Get Help ‘TIME FOR REFLECTION’ AND DETENTION: This system has greatly improved both behaviour and communication to parents. Detention and time for reflection is held every morning break. Children who are asked to attend because of behavioural problems, have an opportunity to talk about their offence during a circle time session with other children. We ensure that they understand what they have done wrong and how they can improve their behaviour in the future. This discussion is then recorded by the child. The children report to detention with their card which records the date and reason why they are there. There is a member of staff on duty each day and both the staff and our pupils take the system quite seriously. If a child is given three cards within half term, an official letter will be sent home to parents communicating the problems and asking for home support. If a fourth card is issued, the school will arrange for a meeting between the Headteacher and parents to discuss the way forward. Each half term all the detention cards are removed and children are given a ‘clean sheet’. Primary Schools do have the right to give after school detentions, with written notice to parents 24 hours before the punishment. However, we do not anticipate that we have to use this procedure at Woodheys Primary School. 7.

A bully is a person who makes life hard for others by deliberately picking on them for no reason. This happens not just once or twice but many times. It can be hitting, kicking, hair pulling and other things that hurt the body. It can be spreading rumours, leaving people out on purpose, name calling or threatening that hurt you inside and make you afraid. Bullying is nasty. People will get hurt if there is a bully around. 1.
