Consequences

We believe that children should always be guided towards achieving and maintaining high standards of
behaviour, where respect for others, their property and their feelings has the highest priority. We teach
children that their happiness and safety, and the safety of others, is the reason for rules and that
inappropriate behaviour is unacceptable. We take a restorative approach, acknowledging consequence and encouraging forgiveness
 

The following steps are taken in order although in some cases behaviour may warrant starting further down. These sanctions may be modified in accordance with best practice for children with emotional behaviour problems

1. The child is given a verbal warning and a chance to modify behaviour.
2. The child misses some time at break time or lunchtime.
3. Class teacher informs member of SLT (Senior Leadership Team) of repeated unacceptable behaviour and an informal chat takes place between Class Teacher and Parent to discuss ways forward.
4. A formal meeting is set up between the parents and the class teacher and a member of SLT to discuss the next steps, with the possibility of the child being put on a chart with individual targets set and/or sessions with the ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant).
5. The SENDCo, class teacher and Head teacher develop an Individual Support Plan for the child.
6. Additional external support services will be contacted as required.
7. If the situation warrants it, the Headteacher informs parents of the possibility of Suspension

Internal exclusions
