Behaviour

Good discipline in schools is essential to ensure that all pupils can benefit from the opportunities provided by education.

Templenewsam Halton Primary School is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. Our behaviour policy guides staff to teach self-discipline, promote positive behaviour as well as using restorative practices to correct disruptive behaviour. It echoes our core values with an emphasis on respectful behaviour, consistent routines and a partnership approach to managing poor conduct and interventions that support staff and learners.

It is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The primary aim of the Behaviour Policy is a means of promoting good relationships, so that children and staff can work together with the common purpose of helping everyone to learn. We expect all staff to present as good role models in our relationships with our children, other adults and each other. This policy aims to help children to grow in a safe and secure environment, and to become positive, responsible and increasingly independent members of the school community.
At Templenewsam Halton Primary School we aim to meet our pupils’ needs through:

• A culture where excellent behaviour is a minimum expectation for all.
• helping learners take control over their behaviour and be responsible for the consequences of it.
• the provision of an appropriate learning curriculum with carefully planned learning opportunities including the development of social, emotional aspects of learning.
• creating a safe environment, that promotes security through consistent routines and clear boundaries.
• acknowledging and addressing any inappropriate behaviours which may arise;
  Giving children the opportunity to reflect and change their behaviour.
