Positive Behaviour Management
At Hillcroft we believe that positive behaviour management:
· Is value led
· Sets high expectations
· Establishes and maintains clear boundaries
· Rewards positive behaviour
· Uses reasonable consequences and restorative justice
Our aim is to be proactive rather than reactive - to foster a positive environment where children exhibit a sense of commitment and pride in the school, promote excellent home/school partnerships with parents thereby encouraging effective two-way partnerships and genuinely celebrate the success of others. We aim to help children develop the following core strengths through our STRONG values.
We praise and reward children for good behaviour in a variety of ways:
- Teachers congratulate children through written and verbal feedback. ‘You have reflected on your learning, well done.’ ‘I am pleased to see how self-motivated you are.’
- Teachers give children a variety of agreed in class rewards e.g. stickers, house points.
- Each week a child from each class is chosen to receive an Exemplary Learner’s certificate linked to their learning across the curriculum.
- An Exemplary Behaviour certificate is awarded to one child per class each week, linked to our STRONG values. Children are rewarded with a wristband to wear related to the value they have been awarded on their certificate.
- Children who have consistently demonstrated Exemplary Gold level behaviour (linked to the STRONG values) throughout the term are put into a draw to attend a treat with the SLT to celebrate their achievement. The behaviour ambassadors take part in this treat also.
- Children who have excelled in different areas of the curriculum and school life are rewarded at a termly Prize Giving ceremony.
