Behaviour

We think St. Botolph’s is a great school. The behaviour of our children is excellent.

We want everyone to be treated with respect.

We want children to be able to work hard and learn without interruptions.

We want everyone to feel safe and secure both in the classroom and the playground.

How we teach good behaviour

Assertive discipline is the principle behind our Behaviour Policy. All children are aware of our school rules and our expectations of them through our ABC Charter:

We have our ABC charter as a code of conduct for the behaviour expected in school:

Our ABC charter are like rules. We have rules so:

• we know how to conduct ourselves in school
• to keep us safe
• to make our school a happy place to be
• to prepare us for adult life – we have rules to keep us safe, our country has laws to keep us safe and consequences if we break those laws!

The school rules are reviewed annually with the children and parents/carers at the start of each new school year.  Aspects of behaviour are frequently covered during:

• Assemblies and Acts of Worship
• P.S.H.E. time
• The meetings of the Wellbeing Council

Taking responsibility

The encouragement of good behaviour, self discipline and the care of our school and those in it, is a constant aspiration of those who work and learn at St. Botolph's.   We encourage the children to be responsible for their own behaviour and attitude. It is their choice, and rewards and consequences will be given accordingly.
