Behaviour policy statement

At Cotham Gardens Primary School we know that we learn best when we feel safe, happy and confident. Outstanding behaviour throughout the school is essential if this is to be the case.  We know that every type of behaviour has a cause and we will always seek to understand this within every child.

At Cotham Gardens Primary, we have the highest expectations of the behaviour of all members of our community.  We believe that every child can behave exceptionally well and are committed to supporting them to achieve this. 

In order to achieve this goal, we are currently revising our approach to behaviour management. Our new policy is in its draft stages and will be available later this year. We believe that children learn best in a calm, orderly and appropriately exciting environment.  We have established 3 Golden Rules which underpin all that we do and to communicate simply and positively to children what is expected of them:

• Be Kind
• Be Responsible
• Try your best
