Caring for your Child at School
Child Protection
Our rst priority is your child’s welfare and therefore there may be occasions when our concern about your child means that we have to consult other agencies before we contact you. The procedures we follow have been laid down by the South West Child Protection Procedures www.swcppp.org.uk and are in accordance with Swindon Borough Council guidance. If you want to know more about these procedures, please speak to the Headteacher/designated safeguarding lead or visit the web site. Copies of the school’s Child Protection Policy are available from the school o ce.
Behaviour and Discipline
Good behaviour is essential for successful teaching and learning. Our aim is to create a positive atmosphere where consideration for others, good manners and good behaviour are the norm. The school operates an approach of rewarding positive behaviour and dealing with the inappropriate, through the early involvement of parents, plus the use of an agreed range of sanctions.
If unacceptable behaviour is of a serious nature involving bullying, discrimination or aggression, this is dealt with by the Headteacher. Parents are always informed if this is the situation and on occasions a child may be excluded from school if the Headteacher thinks this is warranted.
We believe that the most e ective way of achieving our aims is to encourage and praise POSITIVE behaviour. This applies to everyone in the school community. Below are our ‘Golden Rules’ that the whole school follows:
» We are kind and gentle.
» We look after property.
» We work hard and follow instructions.
» We listen and put our hands up.
» We are honest.
» We all share and work as a team.
» We are helpful and polite.
To ensure equal opportunities for all, we think it is important to:
» Ensure that rewards and sanctions are consistent and fair;
» Model, teach and promote positive behaviour;
» Act as ambassadors for Wanborough Primary School wherever we are;
» Help and support others who nd it di cult to follow the behaviour policy for speci ed reasons.
