Behaviour
At St. Richard's we place great emphasis on good behaviour and we believe it should be founded on self-discipline and self-esteem. According to our Behaviour Policy, our aims in this area are:
- To ensure that the behaviour of the children makes a positive contribution to their education, both academically and morally
- To prevent the misbehaviour of some children adversely affecting the happiness or education of others
- To provide a safe and secure environment at school for all members of the school community
To support these aims we have a system of rewards for good behaviour - children who demonstrate good learning behaviour as well as remembering our values - Love, Kindness, Respect, Honesty, Forgiveness and Hope are awarded 'Dojo points' and merit certificates. These rewards and others are regularly presented in Celebration Assembly.
Our Behaviour Policy can be found below.
