KINGSHILL CHURCH SCHOOL BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT POLICY
KINGSHILL CHURCH SCHOOL BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT POLICY . At Kingshill Church School we are committed to enabling all children to access education successfully. This is an “inclusive” process; part of this commitment is concerned with establishing a high standard of behaviour throughout the school. The way in which pupils and adults behave has a profound effect on all the work that is undertaken.. We aim to create an atmosphere where children are able to develop an awareness and sensitivity to the needs of others and one in which they will show respect and consideration for other people and property. We aim to praise and reward positive attitudes to behaviour and learning and to maintain fairness and consistency, whilst encouraging self-discipline and self -control. We recognise that high standards are best promoted when everyone (staff, parents and children) have a shared understanding of what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. By promoting good behaviour we can build individual and collective esteem and encourage good personal relationships which results in a happy, safe school. We believe that every child has the right to learn and no child has the right to disrupt the learning of others. We believe that everyone has a right to be listened to, to be valued, to feel and be safe. Everyone must be protected from disruption or abuse. Our fundamental approach is a positive one, drawing attention to and rewarding good behaviour and mutual respect Behaviour Policy Guidelines These guidelines are in addition to the full Multi-Academy Trust Behaviour Policy.
The Behaviour Management Policy will be shared with children, parents, staff and governors each year by the end of term 1 - a review will be carried out and any necessary changes made. Children who behave well will enjoy rewards and privileges such as extra playtime, golden time, class trips etc. Children‟s good behaviour will be rewarded through individual classroom reward systems. Good behaviour may also be recorded as appropriate by the class teacher. Children whose behaviour is almost always good may be rewarded with „end of half-term treats‟, the nature of which will be decided by the children and their teacher. Children are made aware of what constitutes not behaving well and unacceptable behaviour - including rudeness- this is visible on the Behaviour Flow Chart The Behaviour Flow Chart , will be visible on the school website, in every classroom and a copy will be sent home to parents. All classes have a behaviour book to record incidents involving children not behaving well or unacceptable behaviour that warrants an orange or red card.
If a child receives an orange card for unacceptable behaviour then a text and letter will be sent home informing parents or carers. A copy of these letters will be placed in the child‟s personal file. If poor behaviour is witnessed at morning playtime then the teacher on duty will tell the class teacher so that it can be recorded in the behaviour book; the senior play leader will also be made aware of this behaviour. Any poor lunchtime behaviour and orange cards or red cards will be recorded in the Senior Play Leader‟s Log Book. If a child is absent on the day of their lost lunchtime it will be carried over until the day they return. If a child has recognised or diagnosed behavioural needs that deem the behaviour policy to be inappropriate then an individualised behaviour support plan will be put in place with short term targets for improvement. If this is the case then parents will be informed and involved with the process. Children can still receive rewards weekly according to individual class reward systems so as to solve the issue of children „giving up‟. Supply staff/trainee teachers must know and follow school procedures. The Headteacher will scrutinise behaviour books each half term with the Learning Mentor or Senior Play Leader to monitor trails of behaviour and to put in place any programmes of intervention needed. If this is the case then parents will be informed and involved with the process. If a child receives a red card for persistent or sudden, unprovoked unacceptable behaviour and/or extreme rudeness/aggression/physical assault on or to any member of staff then parents or carers will be informed and an appointment will be made for a meeting with the Headteacher. Persistent unacceptable behaviour means four or five breaches of a single identified behaviour; this may lead to an internal exclusion of a morning, meaning that the child is with the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher. If an internal exclusion has been carried out and there is a recurrence of persistent or sudden, unprovoked unacceptable behaviour and/or extreme rudeness/aggression/physical assault on or to any member of staff this will lead to a fixed term exclusion. We then follow the MAT exclusion policy. If a fixed term exclusion has been carried out there is a further recurrence of persistent or sudden, unprovoked unacceptable behaviour and/or extreme rudeness/aggression/physical assault on or to any member of staff this will lead to a permanent exclusion. We then follow the MAT exclusion policy. If necessary, there may be an occasion when an adult needs to use a minimal amount of reasonable physical restraint/force so that pupils and staff are kept safe. E.g. if a child puts themselves or others in danger. If this is deemed necessary then this will be carried out by members of staff trained in safe handling techniques.
