Our Vision

At Galston Primary we aim to provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment where children are motivated and inspired to achieve their full potential, supported by the school and wider community.

Respect

We believe that our vision relies on the school being able to establish a whole school culture that promotes mutual respect amongst us all, makes us feel safe in all situations and induces a lifelong love of learning. We believe that our Rights Respecting Behaviour Policy (RRBP) is an integral and crucial policy that enables the school to fulfil its vision and to ensure the wellbeing of all.

Galston Primary School is a Rights Respecting School where all children should be:

Safe – The right to be safe A19

Healthy – The right to be healthy A24

Active – The right to relax and play A31

Nurtured – The right to become the best we can be A29

Achieving – The right to an education A28

Respected – The right to be listened to A12

Responsible – The right to feel valued A12, 13 & 14

Included – The right to be treated fairly A37

At Galston Primary School we encourage all children to make the most of all the opportunities by making them feel safe and valued at all times.

All staff will use praise and rewards to reinforce and celebrate positive behaviour. Staff will model positive behaviour within the environment and use language that will promote our school’s values and rights respecting ethos.

Everyday routines will develop each child’s understanding of boundaries, respect, expectations and consequences; developing their awareness of their own needs and the needs of others.

We have introduced Class Dojo into all of our classes to provide a consistent approach to classroom behaviour across the whole school.
