18. Behaviour and Discipline
At St. Chad’s Church of England Primary School we believe that the management of pupil behaviour is best achieved through praise and reward. We appreciate that children are still learning about acceptable behaviour and will need guidance and support as they evolve their own internal understanding. We also want children to appreciate the consequences of their actions and that this will involve the use of sanctions if appropriate. We acknowledge that learning about acceptable behaviour is not confined just to timetabled activities in the classroom but permeates the whole of the time which children spend on the premises or engaged in school related activities.

19. ‘We care, we share, we laugh, we learn’
School Rules
‘We care, we share, we laugh, we learn’

20. Aims
To encourage a calm, purposeful and happy atmosphere within the school
To encourage increasing independence and self-discipline so that each child learns to accept responsibility for their own behaviour
To make the boundaries of acceptable behaviour clear and to ensure safety
To raise awareness about appropriate behaviour
To foster positive, caring attitudes
To encourage pupils to display good manners at all times
To promote a fair and consistent approach so that everybody in the school community knows their expectations

21. Implementation
We will make clear our expectations of acceptable behaviour through use of the school rules
We will encourage children to take responsibility for their own actions and behaviour
We will discourage unacceptable behaviour
We will praise good behaviour both privately and publicly

22. We expect our children to:
Follow the rules at all times
Be actively engaged in their learning and support others to do the same
Treat others with respect
Co-operate with adults and other children
Take care of property and the environment in and out of school
Be well mannered

23. As a staff we will:
Treat all children fairly, recognising their individuality and needs
Raise children’s self-esteem and develop their full potential
Provide a challenging, interesting and relevant curriculum
Create a safe and pleasant environment, physically and emotionally
Use rules and sanctions clearly and consistently
