Governors’ Statement on Behaviour & Discipline needs to be confirmed, I would suggest the following:
· Every pupil understands they have the right to feel safe, valued and respected, and learn free from the disruption of others
· All pupils, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination
· Staff and volunteers set an excellent example to pupils at all times
· Rewards, sanctions and reasonable force are used consistently by staff, in line with the behaviour policy
· The behaviour policy is understood by pupils and staff
· The exclusions policy explains that exclusions will only be used as a last resort, and outlines the processes involved in permanent and fixed-term exclusions
· Pupils are helped to take responsibility for their actions
· Families are involved in promoting and supporting good behaviour to foster good relationships between the school and pupils’ home life
The governing board also emphasises that violence or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated in any circumstances.
