Thames View Bridge School Behaviour Policy
The Principles:
The Governing Body believes that in order to enable effective teaching and learning to take place, good behaviour in all aspects of school life is necessary. We seek to create a school ethos which promotes self-esteem, self-discipline, proper regard for authority and positive relationships based on mutual respect; genuine caring and trust by:
• valuing every pupil as an individual;
• promoting positive self-esteem and self-advocacy;
• communicating to pupils belief in their abilities and ambition for their highest possible achievement;
• providing an environment which is disciplined, caring, safe and free from disruption, violence, bullying or any form of harassment;
• promoting early intervention alongside fair and objective consideration of a pupil’s problems and empathic, informed and effective management;
• encouraging consistency in the application of the positive behaviour support required by individuals;
• ensuring consequences are appropriate, effective and least restrictive relative to any behavioural difficulty;
• promoting for individual pupils as much independence to function in as normal an environment as possible;
• ensuring interventions provide opportunities to learn or improve skills and manage and control their own behaviour.
• encouraging positive relationships with parents and carers and shared approaches to the implementation of the school’s policy and associated procedures.
