Behaviour

We have a positive approach to behaviour and have high expectations that are made clear to the children and the wider community through our policy and day-to-day practice.

Our school culture is underpinned by six character traits, chosen by the school community. They are: kindness, respect, grit, integrity, empathy and self-control. We focus on recognising and celebrating when our children demonstrate these character traits. Recognition can be in the form of: praise, Class Dojos (our house point system), postcards or certificates to mention a few.

The children are assigned house teams at the start of their school career and remain in those house teams throughout their time with us. If your child has siblings in school, we ensure that they are always assigned the same house team. Across the year, there are opportunities for house teams to engage in healthy competition and to receive recognition for their team effort in a particular area such as attendance or reading.

A behaviour management policy is available on our school website along with supporting guidance. In the event of a concern, we will look to involve parents at the earliest opportunity, so that we overcome any challenges together.

Class Dojo

Class Dojo is a tool to support communication between school and parents in a secure and safe online environment. It connects teachers with children and parents to build amazing classroom communities.

Parents can download an app, create an account and then link to their child. All links are approved by school staff to ensure maximum security and safety.

Staff recognise children for their good choices by awarding them with a Class Dojo point. Children can receive a Dojo for a range of different reasons, under the umbrella of our six character traits: kindness, respect, grit, integrity, empathy and self-control. For every point received by a child, their parent receives a notification through the app. When children reach 100 Dojo points they receive a Dojo dollar, which they can spend in the monthly Dojo shop.
