Promoting Positive Behaviour Golden Rules

Golden Rules are displayed in all classes They are shared and discussed with the children. Golden Time will be held every Friday afternoon.

Class Charts – The rocket

Golden Time “Steps” Breaking a Golden Rule: If a child is seen breaking a Golden Rule they are given a verbal warning. If the rule is broken again, they are shown a warning card or, for infants they are placed on the amber part of the rocket. Decision Time: This is the child’s decision time and they can either choose to keep the Golden Rule or carry on breaking it. Losing Golden Time: At this point the child will lose 10 minutes of Golden Time, Infants 5 minutes.

Our ambition is for all children and young people in Glasgow to know their rights and have the freedom in our establishments to enjoy these rights. To achieve this we need all adults to support children and young people in knowing their rights and working together to ensure these rights are protected.
