SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
St. George’s Better Behaviour Better Learning Policy aims to promote positive behaviour and relationships within the school through the PSD programme.
(see PSD section)
Positive approaches to class and school discipline include
- class/individual reward schemes
- school assemblies to award points to classes
- fun days, drama group visits, art afternoons etc.
- pupil council meetings
- playground toys/playground zones/playground friends
- class and school rules (golden rules)
- teaching good behaviour
- class treats
Where, despite a positive approach, pupils are disruptive, the following sanctions are in place:
- non-verbal communication to correct behaviour
- verbal warnings with a clear choice given to pupils
- discussion with pupil at the end of the lesson
- referral to DHT or HT if behaviour is persistent
- involvement of parents
- use of support agencies e.g. psychological services
- in school exclusion from class
- as a last resort, exclusion
Parent cooperation is necessary for the system to be successful.
