Behaviour Expectations

Behaviour Expectations and Rewards

Staff consistently apply the school’s behaviour policy. Pupils listen attentively and work hard in lessons. Behaviour does not disrupt learning and pupils are keen to earn rewards for meeting teachers’ expectations.(Ofsted Report 2023)

Creating the best conditions for learning: Good Behaviour

Outstanding behaviour is essential at school, to enable children and their peers to learn effectively individually and collaboratively.

We insist on high standards of behaviour so that all children come to school feeling happy, safe and ready to learn. This is achieved by a clear behaviour policy and consistent re-enforcement of positive behaviour.

We always seek to promote good behaviour inside and outside the classroom to enable our children to be responsible and caring individuals. To foster positive behaviour children are rewarded through certificates, special privileges and taking responsibilities within the school community.

Occasionally, a child may not adhere to these golden rules. In order to develop a child’s learning behaviour or their understanding of responsibility to the school community, sanctions are given. If a child continues to misbehave repeatedly or if their behaviour is rather more serious, then the Head of School or Executive Headteacher will ask parents to come to school to talk about ways of resolving the inappropriate behaviour. Additionally, in some circumstances the school will use outside agencies to support children, families and the school with behaviour issues. Finally, in extreme circumstances children may be excluded for a fixed number of days or permanently. 

Our Behaviour Curriculum - The Bangabandhu Way

Pupils behave consistently sensibly. Leaders foster a positive and respectful school culture that encourages pupils to build strong, positive and professional relationships with staff. Pupils follow routines tightly.

(Ofsted Report 2023)

We explicitly teach good behaviour in the same way we teach other areas, through a curriculum.  We call our behaviour curriculum 'The Bangabandhu Way'. 

The process we follow for teaching behaviour explicitly is: 

1. Identify the routines you want to see. 

2  Communicate in detail your expectations. 

3. Practise the routines until everyone can do them. 

4. Reinforce, maintain and patrol the routines constantly.

The Bangabandhu Way behaviour curriculum content is covered in depth in Autumn Term 1 and revisited throughout the year.

We expect all our pupils to be Good Bangabandhu Citizens and follow all of our Golden Rights. To be a Good Bangabandhu Citizen you must follow 3 overarching principles of behaviour. They are:
