A partnership between the school and parents is required in order to ensure the best possible standard of pupil conduct.  Pupils are expected to set themselves high standards in appearance and behaviour.  School rules are relatively simple and few in number to allow for the smooth running of the school.  The general aim is to produce an atmosphere of friendly co-operation, encouraging respect and consideration for other persons and other property.

Our school rules are linked clearly to the safety of the children and the well being of the school community.  Rules tend to refer to noise and movement within the school in wet or dry weather, agreement on places where games and cycling are not allowed, and awareness of road safety.

Unfortunately, there are times when some of these rules are broken and staff must take action for the benefit of all in the school. A variety of means are used to deal with discipline problems. These may range from verbal admonition to requesting a meeting with parents in order to discuss pupil behaviour, discipline, and/or difficulties. The school seeks to keep parents informed of any problems of this nature and anticipates active co-operation from parents where necessary so that their child and all others in the school will benefit from the educational provision being made.

Our pupils are encouraged to use the Golden Rules as their Behaviour Code
