Behaviour
Christ Church Hanham CE Primary School is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same.
As a Church of England School, our behaviour policy and associated approach to supporting behaviour is rooted in our core vision of Nurture- Grow- Flourish; it is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well, respected as a unique individual. We are a caring Christian community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. Our behaviour policy reflects our Christian distinctiveness and the values which guide our approach to behaviour are rooted firmly within the Christian values of the school.
The school behaviour policy is therefore designed to support the way in which all members of the school can live and work together in a supportive way. It aims to promote an environment where everyone feels happy, safe and secure through the teaching of respectful behaviour, relationships and a partnership approach to managing poor conduct and dynamic interventions that support staff and learners.
At CCH, in order to best support all members of our school community, we have an agreed approach to behaviour that is encapsulated by the following three whole school rules. These have been identified to cover all possible behaviours as well as ensuring a consistent framework and language for our school community:
In addition to our three core rules, we have also identified four visible consistencies; these have been identified to support all members of our school community to know our expectations and to ensure that consistency ripples through every interaction. Where learners feel treated as valued individuals, they will demonstrate the expected behaviours showing respect and autonomy:
Our policy and approach to behaviour is underpinned by the Statement of Principles for Behaviour which is agreed by the Governing Body.
