Behaviour
At St Peter’s we expect children to be in charge of their behaviour and we do all that we can to encourage them to do so.
A great deal of emphasis is placed on our GOLDEN RULES, which are displayed in every classroom and in the Hall.
We have a very positive ethos and value is placed upon intrinsic reward as well as a system of class rewards designed to raise self-esteem and encourage children to want to behave well. A copy of the school Behaviour Policy is available under the 'Policies' section on this website or a copy can be obtained from the school office.
Our Golden Rules
Work hard
Be gentle
Be kind and helpful
Be honest
Smile and say kind things
Look after property
Keep unkind hands and feet to yourself
Listen to people
Keep unkind words to yourself
It’s OK to make a mistake as long as you learn from it
As part of our strong philosophy of teamwork, we place a lot of emphasis on working together with you as parents.
Should any behavioural problems arise, you would be consulted and a joint plan of action formulated.
There is a Home/School Agreement that we ask all parents to sign annually as part of the strong liaison between parents and school. This is not a formal contract, more a statement of aims for each party.
