Behaviour

The behaviour system at Katherine Warington School is based on respect, readiness and responsibility. All adults in the KWS community will establish a culture of calm, kind and consistent behaviour management and strive to demonstrate certainty about their expectations at all times.

The school believes that in order to enable effective teaching and learning to take place, excellent behaviour in all aspects of school life is necessary. It seeks to create a safe, caring learning environment in the school by:

promoting excellent behaviour through calm and consistent adult behaviour, relentless routines, giving first attention to best behaviour, scripting difficult interventions and restorative follow-up;

promoting self-esteem, self-discipline, proper regard for authority and positive relationships based on mutual respect;

ensuring fairness of treatment for all;

encouraging consistency of response to both positive and negative behaviour;

promoting early intervention;

providing a safe environment free from disruption, violence, bullying and any form of harassment;

encouraging a positive relationship with parents and carers to develop a shared approach, involving them in the implementation of the school’s policy and associated procedures.
