Behaviour
Pupils of Maldon Primary School will demonstrate the values that we hold dear within the pupils of the school.
Our school values are
Honest, Respectful and Hard Working
Where pupils follow behaviour expectations, they will be rewarded for doing so. Where they are unable to follow our behaviour expectations, this may lead to consequences being put in place. The nature of the consequence is dependent on the behaviour type - the more serious the behaviour the more significant the consequence is likely to be.
At Maldon Primary School, we aim for our pupils to become independent learners, motivated by their natural curiosity about the world in which they live. To enable this to happen we work together with all members of the school community, pupils, staff, parents/carers and governors to promote positive behaviour.
At Maldon, we believe in the power of positive and frequent praise for good and caring behaviour as a more effective way of improving standards and relationships between individuals. Adults within the school environment have a duty to provide positive role models in all areas of behaviour, including non-teaching staff and visitors to the school.
Key Principles
- Every day is a new day.
- Positive reinforcement outweighs any negative in a class.
- Pupils can readjust their negative behaviours by behaving well for the next lesson.
- Pupils need to leave at the end of the day in as positive a mood as possible.
- Please see our Behaviour Policy for further information.
