# Behaviour at Bolton

## Behaviour & Rewards

Working together to help every child feel safe, happy and ready to learn

#### Our Aim

Support positive behaviour choices
Help children feel safe, happy and confident
Ensure all children can learn without disruption
Teach behaviour in a calm and supportive way

#### Our Promise

We help children feel valued and motivated
We build confidence and positive learning habits
We teach behaviour as a skill and work in partnership with families
We help every child be the best they can be

#### 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.

#### Celebrating Positive Behaviour

We recognise and celebrate positive choices through:

- Dojo Points for positive choices
- Learner of the Lesson awards
- Value Star awards in assembly
- Class rewards and prize boxes

#### Fresh Start Every Day

- Class 1: Sun/Raincloud is reset throughout the day

Every child is given a fresh start and the chance to make positive choices
