Our Approach to Behaviour

At West Walker Primary School, we believe in fostering a positive learning environment where every child feels safe, respected, and ready to learn. Our Behaviour Policy promotes respect, responsibility, and kindness within our school community.

Key Principles of Our Behaviour Policy

We are committed to:

• Encouraging Positive Behaviour: We promote respect, responsibility, and self-control among pupils.
• Providing a Safe Learning Environment: Every pupil has the right to learn in a calm, disruption-free environment.
• Supporting Individual Needs: We provide tailored support to help each pupil reach their full potential.
• Partnering with Families: We value collaboration with parents and carers to support consistent behaviour both at school and at home.

Our Behaviour Standards

Our Behaviour Policy sets clear expectations:

• Respect for All: Pupils are expected to show respect for their peers, teachers, and school property.
• Responsibility for Actions: We encourage pupils to take responsibility for their actions and make good choices.
• Supportive Environment: We adapt our approach for pupils with additional needs to ensure they feel valued and supported.

Positive Reinforcement and Rewards

Positive behaviour is recognised and celebrated through various rewards:

• Dojo Points: Earned for good behaviour and effort in class.
• Special Recognition: Golden Book stickers, phone calls, or messages home to celebrate achievements.
• Classroom Responsibilities: Pupils may receive roles or privileges as a reward for positive contributions.

Managing Behaviour Challenges

We manage behaviour challenges with a fair and consistent approach:

• Behaviour Steps: A structured system with clear, escalating consequences, from verbal reminders to more structured support.
• Restorative Conversations: To help pupils understand and learn from their actions.
• Targeted Support: Pupils who need extra help with behaviour can receive personalised support, including Behaviour Care Plans.

Special Support for Pupils with Additional Needs

Our approach considers the diverse needs of our pupils:

• Differentiated Support: We adapt behaviour strategies for pupils with specific needs.
• Partnership with Parents: We work closely with families to create and review support plans.
• External Support: Where needed, we work with specialists to provide additional assistance.
