Behaviour Support

This will be achieved through:

  • Ensuring that all children clearly understand the behaviour expected from them.
  • Providing children with clear and consistently applied expectations and procedures.
  • Forming positive home/ school links.
  • Following a House & Merit system based on rewards for positive behaviour.
  • Issuing clear and consistent sanctions in line with school policy if children do not abide by expected behaviours.
  • Encouraging children to be responsible for their own behaviour.
  • Encouraging and helping children to respond and interact in a positive manner with peers and adults alike.
  • Providing a positive role model for children.
 

Principles

Little Aston Primary School sees the development of pupil behaviour as a positive and co-operative effort involving all members of staff, governors, parents and pupils of the school.

Our school behaviour policy is designed to support the way in which all members of the school community can live and work together in a co-operative way.
We seek to promote high expectations of behaviour and to encourage positive self-esteem, so that our children will develop into responsible citizens and take a beneficial place in society.

Rewards

At Little Aston Primary School we consider that praise and rewards should underpin the behaviour policy, so that children are presented with the positive choices to do well and succeed.

The House and Merit System
  • Each child and member of staff will be assigned to a ‘house’.
  • At the start of each academic year a boy and girl from Year Six will be appointed as house captains.
  • All members of staff will award merit points to teams and individuals for a range of achievements, including good work, improvement, courtesy and behaviour.
  • A trophy will be awarded each week in assembly to celebrate the team with most points.
  • Individual children are awarded stickers, team badges and certificates as their merit points accumulate.
There will be a merit assembly every half term to celebrate the success and achievements of individuals. Children also work towards gaining Citizenship awards and achieving ‘Child of the Week’ awards.
