At Hampton Lakes we expect high standards of behaviour at all times. Children have the right to learn and staff have the right to enjoy their working day.
It is important that we recognise there is always a reason for poor behaviour and that everyone can improve.
We strive to create an environment that promotes positive behaviour and attitudes towards learning and as such there are many opportunities to reward our children:
- Verbal Praise: Praise for good work, trying hard, achieving, being helpful and kind
- Star of the Week: Achievement Assembly
- Public recognition of work out of school for example, sports, clubs, challenges
- House Points/Dojo Points: Collective approach to achievement, celebrated by individuals initially followed by a collective
- Lunchtime Awards
- Stickers
- Attendance Awards: Termly recognition of 100% attendance and improved attendance.
Sanctions
We have the motto “Be Safe, Be Ready, Be Respectful” and all children are expected to follow this code of conduct. However, we recognise that sometimes things can go wrong, and whilst staff need to teach children about right and wrong children also need to take responsibility for their behaviour and we will teach them this.
If children’s behaviour is causing concern, they will be asked to stop. They will be reminded of the motto "Be Safe, Be Ready, Be Respectful" but if the inappropriate behaviour continues and the child continues to disrupt learning they are at risk of removal from their learning space. If they continue to disrupt the learning further they will be removed from class to another class where they will have reflection time and will be asked to produce a piece of work appropriate to their age and development; parents will be made aware of this.
