Behaviour
The Governing body, staff and pupils are committed to creating a caring, friendly and safe environment which encourages and reinforces good behaviour and the fostering of positive attitudes and values.
It is important to us that an attitude of compassion, love and forgiveness is evident throughout the school. At Leeming St John's CE Primary School learning about appropriate behaviour, including understanding right and wrongs.. Pupils and staff speak of conflict and disagreement being dealt with fairly and compassionately based on principles of forgiveness and a fresh start. This policy sets out the expectations for behaviour at our school and the procedures we have created in order to help us implement these expectations. It also sets out the consequences for misdemeanours should they arise.
At Leeming St John's CE Primary School we recognise that that the way we behave towards one another directly shapes our school. This is why our strap line of ‘Rooted in love and growing together to become lifelong learners’ has been chosen; we aim for everyone within our school community to demonstrate love towards each other through their actions and through practising our eight Christian values. We expect appropriate standards of behaviour at all times inside and outside of the classroom.
The positive Behaviour Policy at Leeming St John's CE Primary School is a statement of good practice that covers all aspects of school that contribute to establishing and maintaining good behaviour and a positive ethos, both inside and outside the classroom. This policy, available to parents upon request and on the school website, explains our code of conduct, the school rules and consequences which may be applied. Effective behaviour management is essential for the smooth running of our school. We recognise the importance of teaching how to behave well and do this explicitly through our school curriculum and through adults leading by example.
All members of the school are expected to help maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning with courtesy and consideration for others as a basic requirement, allowing teachers to teach and children to learn.
