Behaviour

Our Approach to Behaviour

At Tyneview Primary School, we believe positive behaviour is essential to a successful learning environment. Our Behaviour Policy promotes a respectful, safe, and inclusive community where every child is supported to thrive.

Key Principles of Our Behaviour Policy

We are committed to:

  • Encouraging Positive Behaviour: We emphasise good behaviour, respect, and responsibility.
  • Building Self-Esteem and Discipline: Our approach encourages self-discipline and mutual respect.
  • Providing a Safe Space: Every child should feel safe from any form of bullying, harassment, or discrimination.
  • Partnering with Parents: We work closely with parents and carers to support each child.

Our Behaviour Standards

Our Behaviour Policy sets clear guidelines for expected behaviour:

  • Respect for Others: Kindness and respect towards peers and staff are expected at all times.
  • Responsibility for Actions: We encourage children to understand the impact of their behaviour and make positive choices.
  • Support for All Needs: If a child faces challenges, we adapt our approach to ensure their individual needs are met.

Positive Reinforcement and Rewards

Positive behaviour is recognised and rewarded to motivate and encourage students:

  • Dojo Points and Certificates: These are awarded for positive behaviour, effort, and improvement.
  • Class Rewards: Group achievements and milestones are celebrated to foster teamwork.
  • Parental Engagement: We communicate successes to parents, celebrating their child’s growth.

Managing Behaviour Challenges

We address behaviour issues with a restorative approach:

  • Restorative Conversations: We discuss the impact of actions and explore ways to improve behaviour.
  • De-escalation Techniques: Teachers are trained to calmly resolve conflicts, ensuring children feel heard and supported.
  • Structured Support: For ongoing challenges, we work with the child, family, and relevant support staff to provide additional guidance.

Special Support for Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) Needs

Tyneview Primary recognises that some behaviours stem from underlying needs. We have provisions in place for children with additional social, emotional, or mental health requirements, providing support through:

  • Safe Spaces: Areas for children to take time out if they feel overwhelmed.
  • One-on-One Support: Personalised help from trained staff to address individual needs.
  • Parental Collaboration: We engage with parents to build a supportive network around each child.
