Our “Relationship Policy” has a strong focus on positive behaviours and intrinsic motivation. It focuses on strong and solid relationships and a Restorative Approach.
Building strong relationships is at the heart of everything we do at Southesk. It is something we pride ourselves on and strive to continuously develop. Building these solid relationships with our parents/carers and the wider community are also of key importance to us.
This link will take you to the Presentation delivered at our Open Afternoon which talked our parents/carers through our new Relationship Policy.

RELATIONSHIPS AT SOUTHESK

How do we promote good behaviour at Southesk?
Southesk have recently moved to a ‘Relationships Policy’. We believe that positive behaviour is promoted by the solid relationships we build between pupils and all the staff here at Southesk.
Children are given clear guidelines about appropriate behaviour and expectations based on our ‘Golden Rules’ which are displayed in each and every room around the school. These Golden Rules are well embedded into the life of the school and are used in the classroom, in and around the school and in the playground.
Golden Rules
- We are gentle
- We are kind and helpful
- We listen
- We are honest
- We work hard
- We look after property
Each class is also encouraged to consolidate positive behaviour through a variety of different strategies which include:
- weekly circle time sessions
- assemblies
- well organised school routines
- high expectations and consistency from all staff
- specific support for those experiencing barriers to learning
- communication with parents (home school diaries)
- everyone being involved
Everyone feels angry some times. The anger rules let pupils know that this is normal but that there is a way of keeping pupils and everyone else, safe when someone is angry.
We use the I Messages with our friends and peers as part of a reflective conversation.
The 5 Magic Questions form a restorative discussion with an adult or with classmates when something has gone wrong and helps our pupils repair any harm.
