Behaviour policy

Approved by: Local governing body
Date reviewed: 1 September 2026
Next review due: 1 September 2027

1. Aims

This policy aims to provide a consistent approach to behaviour management, define what we consider to be unacceptable behaviour, and outline how pupils are expected to behave.

2. Expectations

Be ready to learn
Be respectful to everyone
Be safe in and around school

3. Rewards and sanctions

Positive behaviour is recognised through praise, house points and certificates. Sanctions are applied consistently and proportionately, and may include a verbal reminder, loss of break time or a meeting with parents.

4. Suspensions and permanent exclusions

Only the headteacher can suspend or permanently exclude a pupil, following the DfE guidance on suspension and permanent exclusion.
