Our Approach to Behaviour

At Central Walker CofE Primary School, our Behaviour Policy is based on Christian values, creating an environment where every child is encouraged to feel safe, valued, and ready to learn. Our approach focuses on fostering positive relationships and using restorative practices to address challenges.

Key Principles of Our Behaviour Policy

We are committed to:

• Encouraging Positive Behaviour: We model respect, empathy, and kindness, encouraging pupils to treat others as they wish to be treated.
• Providing a Safe Learning Environment: Our school is a place where pupils can learn free from disruption and harm.
• Partnering with Families: We work with parents and carers to promote consistent support for each child’s behaviour and well-being.

Our Behaviour Standards

Our Behaviour Policy is guided by our Christian values, which include:

• Love and Respect: We teach pupils to show kindness, empathy, and respect toward others.
• Responsibility: Pupils are encouraged to understand and take responsibility for their actions.
• Resilience and Self-Discipline: We promote resilience, self-awareness, and the ability to overcome challenges.

These values are taught throughout the school day and are central to our relational approach.

Positive Reinforcement and Rewards

Positive behaviour is celebrated through various methods:

• Praise and Recognition: Staff use positive feedback and encouragement to highlight good behaviour.
• House Points and Team Rewards: Pupils earn house points for positive actions, contributing to weekly and termly team celebrations.
• Certificates and Special Roles: Pupils may receive certificates or take on special responsibilities as rewards for positive contributions.

Managing Behaviour Challenges

We use a restorative approach to manage behaviour challenges, focusing on understanding and learning from actions:

• Behaviour Zones: Pupils start each session on ‘green behaviour’ and are guided back on track if issues arise, with steps to support improvement.
• Relational Conversations: Staff engage with pupils in constructive conversations to explore behaviour and find positive solutions.
• Personalised Support Plans: Pupils who need additional support receive tailored plans developed with staff and families.

Special Support for Pupils with Additional Needs

We recognise the diverse needs of our pupils and offer personalised support:

• Differentiated Support: Behaviour plans are adjusted to meet the individual needs of each child.
• Collaborative Approach: We work with parents and professionals to provide tailored support for pupils who may need extra guidance.
• Inclusive Environment: Our restorative practices aim to make each pupil feel included and supported in their learning journey.
