Student welfare team

Student Welfare Officers

We have three student welfare officers, Miss Brown, Mrs McMurdo, Mr Mosey and Miss Dobiing who support with the implementation of our behaviour policy.  Their role is to support the school to achieve it's aim to develop positive classrooms, in all subject areas, using positive discipline.

The aims of positive discipline at Baysgarth School are:

• Students that are more aware of the consequences of their actions (both with regards the sanctions and how their actions affect others).

• Teachers focus more on positive behaviours rather than identifying negative behaviours.

• Students have ‘mistaken behaviours’ corrected.

The student welfare officers respond to student  behaviour that is impacting negatively on the learning and progress of students in the lesson and prevent the teacher from teaching the class.  Through discussion with a student opportunities are given to students to modify their behaviour through positive choices.
