Behaviour and Attitudes

At Stone Church of England Combined School, we have high expectations for student's behaviour and follow a school wide positive behaviour policy from EYFS to Year 6.

It is designed to be a school-wide positive behaviour approach with four simple rules: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be courageous and Be Collaborative. 

These rules are intentionally straightforward so that all stakeholders, including students, parents, and staff, can easily remember and consistently apply them.

Positive relationships play a crucial role in our behaviour system. Our staff receive training on how to conduct restorative conversations with students in case relationships break down. This approach helps students understand the impact of their behaviour on themselves and others, encouraging them to make positive changes for the future.

We see behavioural mistakes, in the same way we would an academic mistake and we find time to teach students the correct behaviours we want to see. 

In order to maintain consistency, we have established routines and language that are uniform across the school. This ensures that students have a clear understanding of expectations and helps create a calm and consistent school environment.

At the beginning of each academic year, we make a point of explicitly teaching classroom routines and practising them regularly to ensure they become ingrained in our daily activities. We believe that this approach greatly supports teaching and learning outcomes.

You can find a copy of our behaviour policy on the policy page.
