How We Support Behaviour

• Clear expectations and consistent responses
• Time to reflect and make better choices
• Strong focus on encouragement and praise
• Some children may have individual Behaviour Support Plans to meet their needs

If Behaviour Is a Concern ⚠️

Step 1 – Reminder

• A clear verbal warning is given
• The child is reminded of expectations and what needs to change

Step 2 – Reflection Time

• Missed playtime / reflection time with an adult
• Behaviour discussed calmly and supportively
• Behaviour logged on Arbor
• Parents notified via email

Step 3 – Further Support

• If learning continues to be disrupted, the child may be removed from the classroom to complete work elsewhere
• Parents will be contacted and additional support put in place

Reflection Time 💬

• What happened?
• What could be done differently?
• How can things be put right?

Behaviour Logs & Support 📋

• All behaviour incidents are logged on Arbor (the school’s communication and record system)
• 3 missed playtimes: letter home
• 5 missed playtimes: loss of privileges and meeting with parents

Reporting Concerns 🚨

We encourage children to:

• Tell a trusted adult
• Use the 0–10 scale to help explain worries

Reporting concerns helps keep everyone safe.
