Behaviour

The approach to recognising and rewarding good behaviour at Heath Fields Primary School

• Each child will have an individual card that they will use to collect ‘bee’ stickers on. Bee stickers will be awarded by any adult in school when they see any child behaving in the expected way by: being calm, being kind, being polite, being safe and being respectful.

• Level one (Bronze) – children need to collect 100 stickers to achieve level one.
• 25 stickers = bronze note home recognizing positive behaviour
• 50 stickers = bronze certificate presented in assembly recognizing positive behaviour
• 75 stickers = bronze note home recognizing positive behaviour and eligible to sit on the golden table
• 100 stickers = parents invited into assembly to see their child receive a certificate and bronze badge for completing level one and becoming a ‘bronze badge holder’

The approach to managing behaviour at Heath Fields Primary School

When a child displays behaviour that is not in line with the schools expectation (refer to school and class rules) then the following steps to be followed.

Step one – A verbal warning is given to the child.

Step two – Childs name is put into the class behaviour book and instant loss of 5 minutes break.

Step three – x put against child’s name indicating loss of break or 15 minutes of lunch break.

Step four – Child is sent to work in another class, via M.Whyman or senior member of staff. A yellow card is sent home informing parents and is accompanied by a text message.

If incidents happen during the afternoon, then the sanction is carried over to the next day. Children will be given the opportunity, during the afternoon to meet the teacher’s expectations and so have any sanctions removed for the following day.

Lunch time

If a midday supervisor reports that a child has not behaved in the expected way at lunch time, then normal sanctions are followed resulting, in the first instance, 5 minutes loss of lunch time the following day, which cannot be earnt back.

At Heath Fields Primary School we are all expected to be...

CALM I try to do my best and understand I don’t always get it right first time. I don’t react to the words or actions of others and tell an adult straight away. I am aware of others and considerate towards them when I work or play. I line up with my class in a quiet and calm way.	KIND I share learning resources and play equipment with others. I look after the school by keeping it tidy and pick up coats, bags and books off the floor. I will treat others in the way I expect to be treated. I will work as part of a team, helping the other members of my team
POLITE I say please, thank you and excuse me. I listen carefully in class, assembly and to all adults. I hold the door open for others. I greet visitors to school and show appreciation to guests in class or assembly.	RESPECTFUL I follow the instructions given to me by any adult in school. I will try to the best of my ability. I wear the correct uniform and bring the right equipment to school like P.E. kit. I know what my reading, writing and maths targets are. I complete my homework and return it on time. I read at home and get an adult to sign my reading record.
SAFE I follow the school and class rules. I move around the school and playground with care, being aware of others. I eat my lunch carefully, putting my lunch things away when I have finished. I will tell an adult in school if I am worried or concerned about anything
