4. Positive/Expected behaviour of children:
We teach the children to respect and care for one another. We believe that the children in our care deserve the best possible learning environment; an environment which is calm, caring and creative, where children can feel secure and one in which self-discipline, trust and a sense of responsibility are fostered.
Reflected in our familiar Golden Rules
be kind and helpful

8. What we will be doing further….
Positive use of the Zones of Regulation introduced last half term
Continue to help develop behaviour for learning/Teaching children how to behave, self- regulate and develop an awareness of others.

9. Golden Time:
Everyone starts with names on sunshine and each day they earn 5 minutes of Golden Time
On 2nd warning name moves to first cloud, if persists, name on second cloud and loss of 5 minutes of golden time on Friday
If children are on first cloud, they have a chance to get their name back on sunshine by correcting behaviour.
Depending on the behaviour, name may go straight to 2nd cloud
Possible loss of some play time as an immediate sanction for inappropriate behaviour
Reflection time on Friday with Phase leader
Apology given to those involved

13. Playground Behaviour
We strive to make the playground a welcoming environment for the children.
Designated play areas, not behind buildings or anywhere out of sight
Use all play equipment responsibly
Listen respectfully to the playground supervisors and follow their rules for safe play
Follow the timetable
Speak to adults if there is an issue
Zones of regulation lanyards

14. Anti-Bullying
It is important that we are able to identify bullying behaviour and separate it from unkind behaviour.
Both of which we do not tolerate at Sheen Mount, but would be dealt with in different ways.

15. What is bullying?
Is it bullying when a variety of children say they don’t like something about you?
Is it bullying when someone on the football pitch shouts at you or reacts to something you have done?
Is it bullying when one person calls you names throughout a half term?
Is it bullying if one person in the class pushes you more than 3 times?

16. Definition
Bullying is the wilful, conscious desire to hurt, threaten, or frighten someone.
CONTINUOUS and ongoing not one isolated incident

17. Our anti-bullying approach:
Zero tolerance approach
Clear escalation process
Incident dealt with immediately by the member of staff who has been approached
Clear account of the incident will be recorded and given to the headteacher
Deputy Headteacher/Headteacher will interview all concerned and will record the incident
All parties including parents will be kept informed

18. How bullied children are supported…
Children are listened to and monitored carefully
Immediate opportunity to discuss the experience with a class teacher or member of staff of their choice
Offering continuous support perhaps through external agencies and pastoral support
Reassuring and restoring self-esteem and confidence
Class PSHE sessions, but not singling anyone out

19. What next…
Continue to develop home-school partnership and keep communication ongoing and open
Use language of golden rules, living values and zones of regulation
Understand escalation process
