Rights Respecting Schools Relationships Policy – Updated Sept 2018
We involved our whole school community in deciding our school values. We want to demonstrate the following values in what we do each day both in and out of school. Please help us by being a good role model.
Honesty
Respect
Responsibility
Inclusion

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.
