Behaviour and Discipline
Step by Step School endeavors to provide a school environment that is safe and stimulating for the children in our care. Our Behavior and Discipline Policy reflects the overall positive approach we have in our school towards all aspects of children’s learning and development. We encourage our children to trust and respect their peers and show compassion and appreciation of divergent views.
At Step by Step we aim:
Encouraging good behaviour
Our behaviour and discipline policy aims to encourage children to exhibit good behaviour – this is reinforced with a system of praise and reward for all children. Step by Step school uses a range of different systems to reward children for academic and non-academic achievements, for effort, good work and for behaviour. These include:
Discouraging unacceptable behaviour
There will be times when children behave unacceptably. The following sets out clearly what the school agrees are appropriate sanctions and consequences to secure effective behaviour. All members of staff are expected to deal with unacceptable behaviour immediately. Any sanction is balanced with encouragement and support with an aim to re-establish relationships. Adults are expected to set a good personal example for children. If at any time, the safety of the child or other children is compromised, the Head of School will be involved. If there are repeated incidents of unacceptable behaviour, these will be brought to the Head of School’s attention. We understand that it is vital that parents are involved when pupils display repeated examples of poor behaviour. In such instances, we aim to communicate regularly via notes home, phone calls or meetings. A child may be placed on a daily report card in order that parents are fully included in the process of ensuring pupils are engaged in their learning, and not a disruption to other pupils as they learn. Exclusion
The school will exclude a pupil if there is considered to be a significant detrimental effect on the moral, physical or educational welfare of other pupils in the school; if there is the risk of self injury; serious disruption or serious damage and loss to school property; unacceptable behavior towards staff; or the possession of any of the banned substances mentioned in the school code of conduct. The decision to exclude a pupil rests solely with the Head of School. |
