5 Ways to Respect
At Portfield, we believe that respect is at the heart of positive behaviour and that all members of the school community have a responsibility to promote this core value. In collaboration with the children, we have created five key rules that help us promote respect around our school:
Speak politely (please, thank you, sorry, excuse me)
Think before you speak
Look at the person you are speaking with
Think about how loud you need to be
Praise others when they are successful or trying hard
Greet people nicely (Good morning, Hello, How are you?)
Accept that staff have responsibility for the safety of the children
Accept staff decisions without argument
Engage in learning by asking questions and working hard
Listen and considering the opinions of others
Stay out of the personal space of others
Treat people as you would like to be treated
Walk calmly and quietly around the school building
Put rubbish/recycling in the correct bins
Tidy up after you have used a space in the school
Report any damage to a member of staff
Use resources sparingly so you do not waste them
Treat the school belongings as you would want others to treat your belongings
Strive to do your best at all times
Be ready for learning when lessons are starting
Have the correct equipment for learning
Ask for help (from friends and staff) if you need it
Complete your home learning to the best of your ability
Take responsibility for your own learning
Work hard so that do not distract others from their learning
Respond kindly to what others say
Work calmly and quietly
Support others to achieve well
Have a positive attitude
Listening and consider the opinions of others
