Positive Behaviour
Angus Council anti-bullying policy
Positive behaviour and positive relationships are essential to effective learning. The shared aim across the school community is to provide an atmosphere of mutual respect and collective responsibility - fostering a positive culture within each classroom. Pupils, parents and staff all have an important part to play in producing and sustaining this ethos. Our Relationships Policy places emphasis on developing positive relationships whilst maintaining our high expectations of pupils. We have consistent expectations across staff and children, and aim to recognise and celebrate the predominantly excellent behaviour we see across the school. We have 3 school rules Ready, Respectful and Safe, which simplifies the dialogue needed when recognising, celebrating and discussing behaviour. When things go wrong, children are supported to understand the impact and consequences of inappropriate behaviour. Children are supported to reflect on what has happened, consider the impact of their behaviour on others, and identify what needs to happen to move forward positively. This is known as restorative approaches. The school currently uses a Relationships and Positive Behaviour Policy. Building Curriculum for Excellence Through Positive Behaviour and Relationships outlines the Scottish Government’s priority actions around positive behaviour in schools and is also a source of support.
