Promoting Good Behaviour Rewards and sanctions

Previous Behaviour Policy • • Confrontational Perceived to be unfair Behaviour points logged – but not monitored Transfers from lessons triggered action

New Behaviour policy Developed by: • Different approaches • Student voice • Staff forums and training New policy implemented September 2019 – a work in progress

Rules • Ready • Respectful • Responsible

Vision • Adults model good behaviour to students; • Discipline with dignity; • Focus on positives; • Partnership between parents, staff and students; • Code of ethics which is shared by all the key stakeholders and leads to excellent standards of behaviour both in and out of the classroom; • Students value themselves and others within the community as individuals; • Students take responsibility for their learning and behaviour and can reflect on their actions and make amends when necessary; • Adults will deal with incidents fairly, consistently and proportionately.

Proactive Range of interventions • Individual behaviour plans • Use of ‘flexi’ • Buddies • Timeout cards • Restorative approaches • Circle of friends • Mentoring In the pipeline • Therapeutic thinking methods • Prefect system • Mental health first aiders

Level 1 – one behaviour point Sanctions Level 2 – five behaviour points Level 3 – ten behaviour points

Level two examples • Level of disruption and impact on learning • Persistence of behaviour

Behaviour ladder

Rewards We are working with students to create an achievement ladder to mirror the behaviour ladder

Catch them being good

Behaviour review – Staff views • Meeting and greeting students at the door, leading to more positive relationships • Start-of-lesson routines and high expectations, leading to improved behaviour • Take-up time is reducing incidents • Validation of students' feelings and re-framing of tasks reducing frustration and disruption • Seating plans are improving concentration and focus in lessons • Greater range of interventions has improved engagement and behaviour • Behaviour ladder sets out clear thresholds for intervention and greater clarity

Wide range of rewards are motivational – but would like all staff to use them consistently Behaviour Review – student views Behaviour in lessons has improved More positive contact with parents is motivational
