Our behaviour policy
Our behaviour policy is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ which support the principle that all people should be respected and valued. We aim to create a safe, positive and caring learning environment based on mutual trust, where all children can positively achieve their full potential. Pupils will develop the self-discipline and skills needed to make them good citizens of the future and able to lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Pupils are taught that they are responsible for their own behaviour and it is their choice how to behave.
Aims

Establish a whole-school approach to maintaining high standards of behaviour that reflect the values of the school
Outline the expectations and consequences of behaviour
Provide a consistent approach to behaviour management that is applied equally to all pupils.
