EXPECTATIONS OF THE SCHOOL: THE POSITIVE REWARD SYSTEM

It is important that achievement and good behaviour are rewarded. The two main ways of doing this are by giving Dojo points or House Points for good work and recording such things as exceptional effort, improvement in behaviour, volunteering to help children and staff etc.

Certificates are given out to pupils in all classes each week – we call these ‘Star of the Week’, and these are presented during a special awards assembly each Thursday, parents are invited to join in the celebration (through meet.google.com during COVID-19 measures).

Below is a small overview (but not limited) of different forms of rewards to be given and celebrations to be recognised:

House points
Class dojo points/comments to parents
Certificates
Attendance
Punctuality

Behaviour at sports event

EXPECTATIONS OF THE SCHOOL: NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR

Once misbehaviour takes place then the teachers take action in 5 steps based on a student pattern of repetition. The below table explains the action taken against each step of class misbehaviour action:

Class Management Plan

Where these steps have been exhausted and the undesirable behaviour continues, the following steps will be taken:

Student misconduct process – Level 1

If the misconduct is Level 2, or if it is Level 1 and 2 think sheets have been given for the same misconduct in a 4 week period, the following steps will be taken:

Student misconduct process – Level 2

A phone call will be made or a Dojo message sent to KSL, relevant teachers and parents. A think sheet will be completed.
If there is a subsequent instance of similar misbehaviour within that half term, an in-person meeting will be called with the KSL and relevant teachers. The child will be placed on a behaviour contract lasting 1 week (a log where teachers make a note of behaviour after each lesson).
To pass the behaviour contract, 90% of lessons must have been satisfactory or above.
If a first contract is failed, or if there is a repeat of the behaviour issue within the remainder of the term, the Principal will arrange a meeting with the parents and issue a 2nd behaviour contract to the child.
If a second behaviour contract is failed, an internal exclusion will be applied (child comes to school but works in isolation for 1-3 days at the Principal’s discretion and depending on the severity of the misconduct). A further meeting will be called between the Principal and parents, where they will sign an undertaking.
If instances of misbehaviour are repeated within 3 months, an external suspension will be applied (child will remain at home and not attend school for 1-3 days at the Principal’s discretion and depending on the severity of the misconduct). A final warning letter will be sent to parents and they will be invited for a meeting with the Principal to decide and agree on next steps.
If misconduct continues, the child may be externally excluded for longer periods of time, the MoEHE will be informed and the child’s place for the following academic year will be withdrawn.

Student misconduct process – Level 3

In the case of physical violence or threatening behaviour, the child will be externally excluded for 1-3 days at the Principal’s discretion and depending on the severity of the misconduct.
If misconduct continues, the child may be externally excluded for longer periods of time, the MoEHE will be informed and the child’s place for the following academic year will be withdrawn.

Negative behaviour is classified but not limited to the following categories:
