10 Behaviour Please support your child by reminding them of their responsibilities and our school behaviour expectations. When behaviour is not of an appropriate level, you will be informed and asked to discuss this with us and your child. We are positive that your children will set the standards high and maintain the behaviour we know they are capable of this year.

11 ‘Good to be Green!’ Your child will strive to remain ‘green’ on the class ‘Good to be Green!’ chart. If your child is not able to follow school rules, the following changes will be made to the ‘Good to be Green!’ chart:  Warning card (YELLOW) – this will be given when low level inappropriate behaviour has occurred in school or at break times. Your child’s name will be recorded on a class chart detailing the inappropriate behaviour. Letters will be sent home if a child receives 10 warning cards in a half term.  Consequence card (RED) – this will be given when low level inappropriate behaviour is repeated after receiving a Warning card, or when higher level inappropriate behaviour has occurred. Mrs Foad will be in touch with parents/carers.

If you feel your child is being treated inappropriately by another child, please let your child’s class teacher know immediately.
