The purpose of this policy is to recognise and reward acceptable behaviour first and to turn unacceptable behaviour into acceptable conduct so that pupils develop into positive, contributing members of the school community, who are beginning to recognise their place and responsibilities in the wider community as citizens of the 21st Century.
