Behaviour Policy – As a school we believe that good behaviour is promoted though a clear code of conduct supported by a balanced combination of fair rewards and consequences within a positive community atmosphere. 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.
