Promoting Positive Behaviour
Behaviour is usually excellent throughout the school and
incidents of undesirable behaviour are extremely rare. The
school9s behaviour and discipline policy has been developed by
all those who work at the school and approved by the
Governing Body. It provides a clear framework of principles
based on mutual respect, praise, self-discipline and
responsibility. The school aims to provide a well-ordered
environment conducive to effective teaching and learning. Our behaviour principles are based
upon positive reinforcement; recognising and celebrating success. We have a common set of
school expectations (RULES) which gives all pupils consistent messages of expectations and
sanctions where behaviour falls short of these expectations.
Rewards are a key part of the classroom behaviour plan. For many children verbal praise,
positive attention and interaction with staff is sufficiently rewarding. For others, more
powerful rewards are needed to help them learn to behave properly, although all children value
special rewards such as certificates
and golden time.
Plasnewydd is extremely keen to show
all children that they, and the positive
things they do, are valued and that the
rewards the children receive are known
about at home. The school uses Class
Dojo as a key part of their Positive
Behaviour Management System. This is
an online system where every pupil is
assigned a Class Dojo 8monster9 and
earns points for a range of good
behaviours.
Bullying in any form is unacceptable in
our school. This can take a variety of forms, (e.g. physical, verbal, online) and we recognise that
this can also happen outside of school, but with subsequent effects on pupils during their school
day. Every effort is made by all staff to ensure that our children are aware of the effect and
consequences of bullying behaviour and understand that this is unacceptable in our school. This
is achieved through a variety of approaches including the teaching of Personal and Social
Education, circle time, assemblies and class discussions.
Where pupils display dangerous or violent behaviour, or continue to display negative or
disrespectful conduct after previous warnings the Headteacher will generally request to meet
with parents as a matter of urgency in order to discuss how best to resolve the situation. In
certain circumstances the Headteacher may elect to exclude a pupil. This is usually for a fixed
period but can be permanent as a last resort.
