Our vision of LOVE LEARN SHINE has shaped our agreed behaviour expectations.St Peter’s is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. We recognise that each individual child is at a different stage of social learning. Only through a consistent approach to supporting their behaviour will we be able to achieve an environment in which children can learn and develop as caring and responsible people. Our Behaviour ApproachAt St Peter’s we want every child to feel safe, happy, and ready to learn. In line with our Christian vision we also want them to experience giving and receiving kindness. We set clear expectations and celebrate positive behaviour every day. When behaviour can be improved, we work together with families and children to make improvements. Our Behaviour for Learning ExpectationsOur Behaviour for Learning Expectations alongside our clear and simple three step system for recognising and reminding are displayed prominently around school.
Behaviour Expectations Document Our full behaviour policy can be accessed here and on the polices page of this website. We will report to parents both verbally and in written reports using these four criteria and definitions.
Recognising, Encouraging & Celebrating Positive BehaviourWe see each child as in individual and recognise they are responsible for their own behaviour. Because of this our systems are set to recognise and encourage each child individually. We believe in recognising the good choices children make because it helps those behaviours become embedded and automatic. When children are praised and recognised for positive actions, they start to repeat them without thinking just like learning to read fluently, they build behavioural fluency. Over time, making good choices becomes second nature. This not only benefits the child but also helps them become a role model for others, creating a ripple effect across the classroom and playground. Positive behaviour spreads when children see their peers being recognised for kindness, effort, and respect. In short, celebrating good choices:
