What support does the school provide to promote positive behaviour and reduce the risk of exclusion?
Inclusion takes into account all the needs of the children and these include how a child behaves. We promote an ethos towards positive behaviour management with a clear Behaviour Policy that is followed by all children and staff. Children and staff are encouraged to use the Kaizen “High Five’ when dealing with conflicts.
To ensure that children reach their full potential we consider their social and emotional needs. To support us with this, we have Learning Mentors who support children across the school in a variety of ways. An important aspect of the Learning Mentors work is to give children opportunities to speak about how they feel and discuss what they can do to feel more positive. A Learning Mentor may also support in the classroom where required. Additionally they provided support to parents about a variety of concerns and issues, including behaviour management strategies.
We have Play Leaders who model and encourage the appropriate behaviour in and around the school.
If a child is at risk of exclusion, the school liaises with the Behaviour Support services and where necessary a Pastoral/Behaviour Support Plan is put into place.
After any serious behaviour incident, we will inform parents/carers of what has happened. We will expect the child to reflect upon their behaviour at home.
