General Behaviour Sanctions: We actively support and encourage adherence to the school rules within our everyday curriculum and conduct. Pupils continue to be taught a range of strategies to ensure their personal safety is maintained both in and out of school.

​If unacceptable behaviour occurs or children do not adhere to the protective measure put in place then a range of sanctions that can be enforced are available to staff members.

​The school has adopted the ‘1, 2, 3 Magic’ Behaviour Management Strategy which all adults in school consistently follow. Children are made fully aware of the school’s behaviour expectations through assemblies, PSHE and the curriculum. For those behaviours deemed to be serious infringements, detention will be applied. 1,2,3 Magic is split into ‘Start’ and ‘Stop’ behaviours. ‘Start’ behaviours are what we want the children to do. ‘Stop’ behaviours are what we want the children to stop and only these are counted.
