Behaviour
At Uffculme Primary School, we consistently strive to maintain an environment in which behaviour is good and pupils can learn and feel safe.
We want the children in our school to develop the skills that will help them to achieve and become successful, independent and lifelong learners. We can achieve this aim when we work as a team; children, parents and staff, to create the best conditions and environment for learning.
We believe that good behaviour has a positive effect on progress and learning.
We believe that children who are treated with respect will learn how to offer that respect to others.
We believe that we all have a responsibility to help children achieve a high level of positive behaviour and that best results come from working together with regular communication between home and school.
It is essential that there is consistency in dealing with behaviour throughout the school. The behaviour policy and procedures are therefore reviewed and agreed by all members of teaching and support staff.
Parental support is of crucial importance so parents/carers are made aware of the school's approach to promoting positive behaviour from the time their children enter school and parents are consulted about this.
Through both the hidden and taught curriculum, we foster a sense of community and caring for each other. In daily life, good manners and thoughtfulness are encouraged and children are praised for demonstrating these qualities.
