Relationships (Positive Behaviour)

Archiving At Rathcoole Primary School and Nursery our Relationship Policy (Positive Behaviour) is a working
document for the whole school community to ensure good practice throughout the school.

It has been written for the pupils, staff, and parents and visitors.

Values underlying the policy :

The 6 Principles of Nurture underpin all that we do.

As a nurturing school, we believe that all behaviour is communication.

We view behaviour in a positive way where praise and relationships are fundamental.

It is our desire to cultivate in the whole team, an acceptance and recognition of their own decisions, their actions, and consequences. We hope to train and guide children, in partnership with parents, to behave in a socially acceptable way.

We feel it is vital that the staff support children’s behaviour in a positive manner by upholding the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Staff appreciate all pupils’ work whilst acknowledging positive behaviour and actions. Staff take account of children’s special educational needs and follow Personal Plans Support Plans where appropriate and necessary. In order to maximise the effectiveness of our policy, parental involvement and support on a continual basis is essential.

This policy has been devised in conjunction with Governors, Staff, Pupils, and Parents. The policy is part of the school’s overall Pastoral Care Policy and has links with other policies such as Child Protection and Safeguarding, Anti-Bullying, Special Needs and Inclusion, and Nurture. These policies help ensure the safety, welfare and wellbeing of all pupils in
our care.

We are a Take 5 Platinum School. We embed the 5 steps to wellbeing throughout our school, culture, teaching and learning and all that we do. These steps are evidence-based actions that promote positive mental health and overall well-being for both students and staff.

This document provides the framework for the creation of a happy, secure, and safe environment in which children can learn and develop as caring and responsible individuals.

It is written for the benefit of the whole school community to help facilitate a positive whole school relational approach to behaviour management at Rathcoole Primary School and Nursery.
