Promoting Positing Behaviour

A​ttendance

At the heart of our school's ethos is the unwavering belief that regular attendance an dpunctuality are essential to safeguarding, academic achievement, personal development and long-term life outcomes.
Good attendance also supports positive behaviour and attitudes to learning, helping children to develop routines, resilience, and a sense of belonging that enables them to engage fully and positively with school life. It is important that children and parents develop and maintain a positive attitude to school attendance and punctuality so that they do not miss out on the opportunities at school. Children who have good attendance are more likely to grow into happy and healthy adults. They are more likely to gain good qualifications and are more likely to live fulfilling lives as a result. We also know that children who are vulnerable are protected by attending school, where the can feel safe. We want to look after everyone in our community and make sure they can flourish.
"Attendance is high. The school monitors attendance on a very frequent basis. It has clear and consistent procedures to improve the attendance of individuals, when necessary." Ofsted, February 2025

Behaviour and Rewards

"Behaviour in school is exemplary. The school involves pupils in deciding what behaviour should be like in school. This means that they follow rules and do not need reminders about conduct. They show high levels of respect and are unfailingly courteous to everyone. Pupils quickly learn to manage their own behaviour from the earliest age." Ofsted, February 2025
