Behaviour


Behaviour and Discipline – Success built on high expectations

Behaviour has improved significantly at Winton and we pride ourselves in the expectations we have and how the students lead on how they are maintained. Our behaviour and standards are very simple. They are based on high expectations, by and of everyone.


Behaviour Policy

 We base our work on the principles of ‘I can’ and ‘I will’

 ‘I can’ is how we focus our teaching to ensure the learning explores what is possible and challenges students to go beyond.

 Students who both meet and exceed our high expectations will be rewarded through;

·      Verbal Praise

·      Merits

·      Certifciates

·      Badges

·      House awards

·      School Awards

·      Sports colours

·      Headteacher Awards

·      Celebration Assemblies

·      Personalised prizes – a system that targets the reward to challenge the student to achieve significant personal progress.

·      The Winton 'Book of Distinction'


Students who do not meet the expectations have very simple procedures to follow.

In class staff will manage student behaviour to ensure expectations are maintained. Students follow well planned lessons and adhere to rules that have been agreed with students.

·  If a student breaks one rule they receive a clear warning.


· In the unlikely event they break a second rule they are asked to spend the remainder of the lesson in our Rest & Reflect area. If they are able to complete work in that area, reflect and reset their behaviour they return for the next lesson. If they have been able to reset, staff will look at the appropriate course of action that ensures they do reset. This can include an intervention, additional sanction or a combination of both. 


·  As a school we believe all students should come to school every day. We only suspend children in exceptional circumstances and operate a bespoke in school provision to challenge poor behaviour.


·  Permanent Exclusion is only ever used as an absolute last resort.


·  Details of these areas can be found in our behaviour policy and operating documents. These can be found on the following links:

Mobile Phone Use

Mobile phones should be pouched and kept by students each day. Using Yondr the school not only prevents disruption to learning but directly has a positive impact on student wellbeing through a reduction in dependency. More details of this relating to our policy can be found here. Students are not permitted to use mobile phones on school site. Any phones used or not pouched (except those with certified exemption) will be confiscated and returned to parents.

Uniform

Students are expected to present themselves in line with our uniform requirements.


We would expect a parent to support us by purchasing uniform in line with school expectations. If a student arrives out of uniform we expect to work with parents to get the student into uniform and into learning. No child will be receive an after school sanction for uniform breaches. However, we will not permit unwilling or unco-operative students out of uniform to dictate expectations.
