A Quick Guide to our Behaviour Policy Behaviour expectations at Peartree Spring are consistent from Reception all the way through to Year 6. The rules are simple and clear, ensuring that all children can take responsibility for their own behaviour and choose to behave appropriately. The One, Two, Three System: Level 1: A verbal warning Level 2: 5 Minutes of time-out in class to think about behaviour Level 3: In-school exclusion for one morning or afternoon session Level 4: Exclusion Golden Time: This is the reward time for children who have behaved as expected all week. It is a 30 minute session every Friday afternoon, during which the children can choose from a range of fun teacher-led activities such as cooking, dodgeball, football, board games, arts and crafts etc. Level 1: If a child displays any low-level disruptive behaviour, he or she is placed on a level 1. This is a first warning. The child is told very clearly that the displayed behaviour is not acceptable and that it is not to be repeated. Level 2: If a child persists with the disruptive behaviour, he or she is placed on a level 2. All classrooms have a chart with 5 suns against each child’s name; each sun equates to 5 minutes of Golden time. A child placed on a Level 2 must remove one of the suns and

A Quick Guide to our Behaviour PolicyBehaviour expectations at Peartree Spring are consistent from Reception all the way through to Year 6. The rules are simple and clear, ensuring that all children can take responsibility for their own behaviour and choose to behave appropriately.

Golden Time: This is the reward time for children who have behaved as expected all week. It is a 30 minute session every Friday afternoon, during which the children can choose from a range of fun teacher-led activities such as cooking, dodgeball, football, board games, arts and crafts etc.

Level 1: If a child displays any low-level disruptive behaviour, he or she is placed on a level 1. This is a first warning. The child is told very clearly that the displayed behaviour is not acceptable and that it is not to be repeated.

Level 2: If a child persists with the disruptive behaviour, he or she is placed on a level 2. All classrooms have a chart with 5 suns against each child’s name; each sun equates to 5 minutes of Golden time. A child placed on a Level 2 must remove one of the suns and take 5 minutes time out to think about their behaviour. At the end of their time-out, they may return to the teaching session or playtime. A child who has lost Golden Time for Level 2 behaviour may earn it back by showing positive behaviour following the time-out. It is a very important part of the policy that children have the opportunity to earn back their Golden Time as it encourages the children to take responsibility for their own behaviour and make correct choices.It is rare that children do not earn their Golden Time back. However, some children reach Golden Time on a Friday afternoon and may have lost 5 or more minutes of their Golden Time. In this case, they sit with a member of SMT and

complete a ‘Thinking about my Behaviour’ form while they miss the allotted Golden Time. This form is sent home for parents/carers so that they can discuss behaviour with their child and make an appointment with the class teacher if necessary. Level 3: Persistent disruptive behaviour following a Level 2 results in a child being placed on Level 3. This is an internal exclusion and means that the child is removed from the classroom or playground and placed in a foster class. The child will speak to the Head Teacher or Deputy Teacher and a phone call is immediately made to inform home of the inappropriate behaviour and a letter is also sent home. Some extreme behaviour, such as verbal or physical aggression, is an automatic Level 3 and in these cases the child will skip Level 1 and 2.

Level 4: A child is placed on Level 4 for repeated extreme behaviour that impacts on the safety and well-being of others. Level 4 is an exclusion and the child is not permitted to remain on school premises for a set amount of time.
