Promoting Positive Behaviour

 

In Carnmoney primary School, we pride ourselves on promoting positive behaviour in accordance with the most current legislation, mandatory guidance and evidence-based practice. On this page, you will see some of the ways we do this.

 

 

Core values, Visible Consistencies and the Good Choices

Take a look at our video of how our Core Values influence our behaviour, how we use visible consistencies and the Good Choices we teach at Carnmoney Primary School.

Our Ethos

Our 'Mission' as a school is to be a safe, happy and caring school where everyone will be accepted and valued for who they are and where children are inspired to learn. In order to stay safe and happy, we believe in nurturing pupils to be the best they can be. This is a vital part of our vision statement which means we teach pupils what good behaviour looks like.

 

 

The Principles of Nurture

We promote positive behaviour in our school in many ways, one of which is to ensure our staff are aware of and adopt the principals of nurture, in order to create a nurturing environment, where pupils feel safe, loved and calm.

 

Values based Education

 

The promotion of positive behaviour in our school is based on our shared Core Values which have been created and agreed through extensive consultation by the pupils, staff, families and the Board of Governors.  These values form the basis of how we promote positive behaviour. When pupils understand and model the values, our school is a calmer place to be. When we are calm and ready for learning, we learn so much better!

 

 

The Good Choices

We also adopt a set of general rules or principals, but instead of calling them rules, we call them 'Good Choices'. Every choice has a consequence, and we believe that teaching children that good choices will have positive consequences and wrong choices will have negative consequences helps them gain an understanding of why behaviour is so important.

 

 

Family Friendly Policy

Recently, our school councillors were involved in putting together a 'Family Friendly' version of our Positive Behaviour Policy. Take a look.
