We are aware that we share responsibility with parents for the children in our care and make every effort to provide the care which any responsible parent would be expected to make. We control movement about the school, supervise children when at play and encourage a sturdy, sensible independence.

Discipline in the school is along Christian lines. The purpose is to develop the character of the pupil to respect his own person and his belongings and to respect other people and their property. There is no corporal punishment.

A Whole School Behaviour Policy has been agreed by staff, children, parents and governors. This is based on our Mission Statement and provides three simple school rules which are quickly understood by all our children: We respect and care for others; We walk carefully in school; We listen to others.

A system of rewards and consequences provides a fair framework for celebrating good behaviour and achievement across the school, whilst encouraging children to take responsibility for their own actions, where behaviour is unacceptable.

All new children and their families receive a copy of our Behaviour Policy to take home and discuss as a family. We welcome your comments.

From Autumn 1999, we have a home-school agreement, which sets out our expectations for teaching and non-teaching staff and pupils; it is signed by each party.
