Easthampstead Park School | Supporting Positive Behaviour

Supporting Positive Behaviour

We aim to create and maintain an environment of mutual respect and understanding in which all students, parents, staff and governors can participate and take responsibility for the learning process.

Behaviour Policy

Objectives:

To establish an ethos of positive and appropriate behaviour throughout the school
To raise self-esteem
To enable everyone to recognise their potential and strive towards achieving it
To engender a recognisable and achievable level of motivation
To enable everyone to realise their influence as an individual within a group, the school and the wider community
To respect others and the environment
To ensure consistent practice in line with the aims of the policy
To recognise the need for flexibility in practice
To ensure consistent principles
To increase the involvement of parents in implementing this policy

Entitlement

Every student has the right - to an environment conducive to learning, to know his/her level of achievement and have it duly recognised.

Every member of staff is entitled - to support when taking appropriate action in encouraging pupils to develop as responsible members of the community.

The School is entitled - to commitment from all members of the school community in upholding this policy.

Responsibility

Every individual has the responsibility to allow the learning process to take place

The Use of Exclusion

The school will consider exclusion, either fixed-term or permanent, in line with guidance and the latest advice given by the DCfS and the LA, for the following activities:

Disruptive behaviour which interferes with the learning opportunities of others
Actual physical violence towards students or staff
Conduct which endangers self or other students
Illegal and unlawful activities on school site, eg drugs, alcohol or theft
Racial or sexual abuse
Harassment or intimidation of students or staff

Students returning from fixed-term exclusion will be readmitted and re-integrated with strategies to help provide a successful outcome and not further failure. Students will be made aware of more serious sanctions if behaviour does not improve. The ultimate sanction is permanent exclusion when other strategies to help change a student's behaviour have failed.
