The school employs a number of sanctions to enforce school rules and to ensure a safe and positive learning environment. We employ each sanction appropriately to each individual situation.
The reward system is a merit based structure, we give merits to pupils who have worked hard in a lesson or shown they are following the code of conduct and being a good role model. For unwanted behaviour we apply a yellow and red card scheme if a child is not behaving in the correct way a warning is given and if no change in behaviour we would move on to yellow card and then red.
Dealing with conflict and inappropriate behaviour – the procedure for any conflict or inappropriate behaviour taking place would primarily be dealt with by adhering to the rules set out in the behaviour policy which would result in the necessary sanctions being applied. These sanctions would be appropriate to age, development and the seriousness of inappropriate behaviour given.
● Anti-Bullying Policy – The purpose of the policy is to set out a definition for bullying and procedures which should be followed although we seek to prevent bullying rather than have to deal with the results. The aim is for all pupils and parents to have self-awareness of what the policy is about and what steps should be taken if bullying arises. Any form of bullying would result in following the procedures set out
Task 1 Links to learning outcome 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3.
Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour.
The main policies relating to behaviour will be the behaviour policies but other policies will also have an impact for example the health and safety policies, child protection policies and anti-bullying policies. All adults in school are expected to act as good role models and to behave in a consistent manner. We make sure that good behaviour is recognised and praised as well as praising children for good work, effort and achievement.
The school’s behaviour policy is very detailed and covers all aspect ensures every member of staff know what is expected from them as well as pupils. I feel that I am able to challenge any behaviour issues confidently. The policy is fair to all pupils and they are all aware that any bad behaviour will not be tolerated.
The anti-bullying policy sets the aims that everyone at the school has “the right to feel welcome, secure and happy.” All staff, parents and pupils have a responsibility to prevent bullying, and the policy contains guidelines on how to achieve this. The policy explains how to define bullying to the two different key stages, including what does not constitute bullying. Children are taught how they can help each other to prevent bullying in the school, such as “we can ask the bully to stop”, “we can stand up for the person being bullied and help them” and “we can try to make
Is a guideline to all staff on how pupils behaviour should be managed. It is important that this policy is constantly being applied to ensure full safety of the pupils, this is why all staff MUST be familiar with this policy.
Schools are required to have policies and procedures as they safe guard the staff and pupils and
Anti Bullying Policy – Schools, by law, have to have a policy in place to prevent all forms of bullying between pupils. These policies need to comply with Education and Inspections Act 2006 which gives head teachers the ability to discipline pupils for poor behaviour even if it occurs outside of school premises or under the lawful control of school staff. It also provides that every school must reward and encourage good behaviour. These should be communicated to all pupils, staff and parents and be part of the behaviour policy. There is no single solution that will suit all schools that will deal with all forms of bullying as there is soo many e.g. virtual bullying, physical bullying and mental bullying. It is left to staff and sometimes parents to come together and gather
1.1 Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained
Explain how a positive environment and routine meet the emotional needs of children and their families
We must report any inappropriate behaviour to the class teacher and take action where appropriate. We must be fair and consistent when applying the school procedures to ensure that the pupils are treated equally. If pupils who behave badly are treated differently, or in their eyes unfairly, they will become confused of their boundaries and unsure of what is expected of them. Treating misbehaving children differently will have a negative impact on future behaviour.
By law all schools and nursery settings must have a behaviour policy in place within their settings, which should also include anti-bullying procedures and a policy for everyone in the setting to stand by and use. The Education and Inspections Act 2006 states that the head teacher should have policies and procedures in place which promote self-discipline to try and stop acts of bullying within the school setting, it also states in The Education and Inspections Act states that school and child care settings should encourage good behaviour and ‘preventing all forms of bullying amongst pupils and staff’. Also, the Department for Education released a guidance on preventing and tackling Bullying in 2014 this was brought about and put into place
Discipline is at the core of every successful learning organization. The school community needs to review the discipline polices and practices and have clear standards of behavior that are known and supported by all stakeholders. These standards must have clear consequences for those who are stepping outside the boundaries of acceptability, and these consequences need to be consistently applied. Presently at the school, it appears that the principal is the only one who administers discipline. Therefore more persons on staff need to be empowered to take up disciplinary
Behaviour stems from children actions and decisions, adults use discipline to help children make appropriate decisions about their behaviour (Hayes, 2009). This assignment aims to focus on the role of the teacher in managing behaviour with reference too, teacher-pupil relationships and the way they impact both positively and negatively on individual children, learning through reinforcement/rewards and how they influence children to behave in a particular way, rules and structure in order for children to be more comfortable in their school environment. The teacher is the key person for managing behaviour, the steer report (2005, page 22) cited in (Adams, 2010) states that consistent experience of good teaching promotes good behaviour. However schools also need to have positive strategies for managing pupil behaviour that helps pupils understand their schools expectations.
there is a review of the school anti-bullying policy every two years and, as a result, the policy and procedures are updated as necessary
