Pupils are polite, respectful and welcoming. Their behaviour in class and around the school is positive. In line with the school’s value of ‘consideration’, pupils recognise the importance of sharing, taking turns and listening to each other. They respond well to the school’s high expectations of their behaviour. The school’s behaviour management system allows pupils to have a clear understanding of these expectations. As a result, pupils learn in an environment that is free from distractions for the majority of the time. Ofsted 2024
As a caring community we aim to create an environment which encourages and reinforces good behaviour and the fostering of positive attitudes. We have high expectations for outstanding behaviour at all times. Our mission statement, school values, PHSE and Behaviour curriculum, school assemblies, teaching about the British Values and anti-bullying work help to teach the children the correct ways to behaviour in a number of situations.
Our behaviour system is rooted in our school values of respect, kindness, love and equality and honesty and follows three key aspects: rules, recognition and consequences.
Everyone in our school has the right to…..
- Learn
- Be respected
- Be safe
Each class will negotiate and agree a small number of additional rules to form Class Promises in order to promote a positive and safe learning environment.
Recognition
We believe that children should be recognised and praised for good behaviour and the emphasis is on positive behaviour management through recognition and praise which will be given for work and behaviour.
Children can be rewarded in the following ways.
- Praise and positive individual or group recognition through class Dojo
- Stickers – either worn by child, or collected on a chart or card
- Positive recognition to parents at the end of the session/day
- Showing work to another adult/class/Headteacher
- Good work notes recorded in planners/books
- Certificates (presented in assembly) which recognise our school values
- Golden time.
Golden Merit
At the end of the half term, each teacher chooses children from their class who they feel deserve an award for the whole half term. A letter is sent home a week before the assembly to invite parents to attend. It is a wonderful celebration and great to see proud children, parents and grandparents.
At the end of a term, children are awarded with headteacher awards and kindness awards. Our children also elect behaviour ambassadors.
Anti-Bullying Policy
At Coupe Green Primary School we are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school. If bullying does occur, all pupils should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. We are a TELLING school. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the staff.
We believe that there are two components to effective anti-bullying practice: Preventing bullying incidents and then responding to them. We have made a commitment to the Lancashire Anti-Bullying Charter.
We positively encourage all pupils to take responsibility for their behaviour and its consequences and to make a commitment to take action to end the bullying and provide support for the bullied pupil.
We have a ‘legal duty of care towards pupils’ and will endeavour to take reasonable steps to protect the welfare, health and safety of pupils. All staff in our school take all forms of bullying seriously, and seek to prevent it from taking place. We have a zero tolerance policy for Bullying at Coupe Green.
