About St Nicholas School

Behaviour

We are proud of the excellent behaviour of the children at the School. We expect children to develop for themselves a high standard of courtesy, manners and good behaviour. Through discussion involving staff and pupils, we have developed a set of simple rules which all children are taught. Our behaviour policy includes a system known as Assertive Discipline. This is a positive approach focusing on encouraging good behaviour, but still providing consistent consequences for misbehaviour.

Good behaviour of all kinds is recognised quickly and visibly rewarded. Children can gain 'best behaviour' certificates, stars, and (from year three) 'house points'.

Many "My Best ever" certificates are awarded or celebrated at weekly asemblies.

Consequences of misbehaviour can include: verbal admonishment, loss of breaktime, restriction or removal of extra curricular activities, extra work and occasionally, for children in Year 3 upwards, detention. If detentions are held, parents will be given at least 24 hours notice.

We keep parents informed of both good and poor behaviour. We also encourage children to reflect on problem situations in which they have been involved and to learn how to avoid similar difficulties in the future.
