At Mellers Primary School and Nottingham Nursery School, we endeavour to make every child’s unique learning journey an exciting adventure, which promotes a real love of learning that will last a lifetime. To achieve this, we are committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is
at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same.
Our Behaviour and Relationships policy guides staff to teach self-discipline not blind compliance. This policy incorporates the legal requirements and school aspirations, at an age-appropriate level, of an anti-bullying stance.
We follow three simple rules:
Ready, Respectful, Safe
We believe these rules will guide children into their adult life.
Ready
Always begin the school day in a positive manner
(Make sure you have your equipment, PE kit and that you arrive to school on time, start each lesson showing that you are ready to learn)
Respectful
Always have good manners around school
(Pay attention to whoever is speaking or signing to you whether they’re an adult or a child, say please and thank you)
Always be kind to others
(Treat others with respect and kindness, speak in a calm and respectful tone, give compliments, use respectful language, share and take turns, use kind hands and feet)
Always be honest
(Tell the truth, no matter the circumstance)
Respect property: school or other people’s
(Tidy up toys, take care of school equipment, books and furniture, make sure you get permission to use others’ things)
Safe
Always keep your hands and feet to yourself
(Respect others’ personal space and boundaries, keep feet on the floor inside)
Be calm and considerate in and around school
(Walk around school safely, speak quietly whilst indoors)
