Behaviour

Behaviour Curriculum

At The Hill Primary Academy, we believe successful relationships are underpinned by the positive ethos promoted in the academy culture; a culture which demands high expectations of staff and pupils and which also demonstrates respect, tolerance and understanding of differences, in the drive towards equity of opportunity and high aspirations for all.

We aim to create a culture of exceptionally good behaviour: for learning, for community and for life.

We aim to build a community which values kindness, care, respect, tolerance and empathy for others and to help learners take control over their behaviour and be responsible for the consequences of it. We encourage pupils to value the diversity in our society and the environment in which they live whilst becoming active and responsible citizens, contributing to the community and society.

Through encouraging positive behaviour patterns we promote good relationships throughout the academy community built on trust and understanding. We believe that as pupils practise these behaviours, over time they become habits that positively shape how they feel about themselves and how other people perceive them.

The Governing Body’s statement of principles which informs the Behaviour Policy.

The responsibility for the care and welfare of a child at school rests with the Principal, who relies on the teaching and support staff to deal sympathetically with day-to-day problems as they arise.

Our first concern is safety and children are expected to behave in a sensible manner. Children are expected to be polite, well-mannered and to act in a thinking, caring way towards each other and adults. This behaviour should be modelled by staff as well as parents when they are on the school premises.

The approach to discipline is positive. Appropriate behaviour is constantly rewarded with praise. The whole school has developed a set of simple, easy-to-follow rules which are:

Ready

Safe

Respectful

These rules are explored with the children and used to facilitate discussions with pupils about the choices that they make in terms of their behaviour.

These support the school’s values as follows:

 

• Scholarship
• Tenacity
• Curiosity
• Empathy
• Pride

 

Sanctions are adopted for unacceptable behaviour in line with the behaviour policy. There is no place for violence, bullying, harassment (including racial or sexual), vandalism, rudeness, or bad language in the school community and these will always be discouraged.
