All Saints' Way
At All Saints' we have high expectations for behaviour. We believe every child has the right to grow, learn and thrive in a safe and calm environment. If this is to be achieved, then it is vitally important that high and consistent expectations exist for all pupils at all times, with every adult whom a child comes into contact with supporting every child to demonstrate strong and positive behaviours.
Our approach to managing behaviour at school is centred around a positive approach, The All Saints' Way, reinforcing positive behaviours and praising 'good choices' publicly and reminding children about expectations where 'wrong choices' are made privately . We know that some children need more support than others with this and are mindful of this when supporting children to show positive behaviours. We believe all children should be given every opportunity to 'Let their light SHINE' and be supported to do so where this is identified as a challenge. We teach our children how to behave and how to meet the expectations for behaviour that we set out. This is modelled to the children consistently. Every PSHE lesson starts with a 'spotlight on behaviour', with staff selecting as aspect of behaviour which they identify as a need to be revisited based upon the needs of their individual class.
At school, we have three school rules:
Be ready
Be respectful
Be safe
These are displayed in all classrooms and are accompanied by the poster you can see below, which exemplifies how children may demonstrate they are ready, respectful or safe.
Every child, from Y1 to Y6, has their own SHINE card, which is a reward card for all children, recognising when children show our school values (love, persevere, respect, faith and joy) or are seen as been good role models, showing our rules; being ready, being respectful and being safe. The reverse of the card is for 'it hasn't gone unnoticed' moments, recognised during reflection time at the end of the day for those children who have consistently made the right choices throughout the day. When a child fills a line, horizontally or vertically, or achieves a full house, they receive a little reward.
Where children are seen to be struggling to make 'good choices', and at times make 'wrong choices', these are recorded CPOMS and discussed in senior leadership team meeting to ensure the right support is available for all children.
We implement 'The All Saints' Way' as our approach to managing behaviour. This document, alongside our positive relationship and behaviour policy, can be found below.
