Behaviour at North Wheatley C of E Primary
It is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The school's 'Behaviour and Positive Relationship Policy' is therefore designed to support the way in which all members of the school can live and work together in an inclusive environment that aims to support all children to believe, achieve and thrive. North Wheatley is passionate about understanding the needs of all pupils, building positive and trusting relationships and working in partnership with families.
The behaviour and positive relationships policy and practices aim to help pupils to grow in a safe and secure environment and to become positive, responsible and increasingly independent members of the school community.
The school rewards good behaviour, as it believes that this will develop an ethos of kindness and co-operation. This policy is designed to promote good behaviour, rather than merely deter anti-social behaviour.
We have our ‘Behaviour Signposts’ which enable pupils and staff to work effectively together as a school team.
Zones of Regulation
When pupils feel a connection, they feel belonging and significance. Often that is enough for inappropriate behaviour to stop. Zones of Regulation are used to encourage co and self-regulation. Adults in school connect with the pupil before offering options for correction. We encourage pupils to self-regulate and use the Zones of Regulation to help manage their emotions. This approach helps pupils to develop an understanding of their own emotional state and provides them with strategies to regulate their behaviour. The Zones of Regulation are used to help pupils regulate their emotions and understand their feelings. Pupils are encouraged to identify when they are in each zone and use strategies to move to a more regulated state. When pupils are able to recognise their emotions and self-regulate, this is seen as a positive response to their behaviour.
Our Gem Powers promote and reward positive learning behaviours.
