Category Archives: Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy

In session 24-25, Sgoil Ùige is placing a strong emphasis on developing positive relationships and a relational approach between all stakeholders. We aim to involve all pupils, parents and staff in decisions relating to learning and school development and ensure that all stakeholders demonstrate our school values of spèis (respect), sunnd (wellbeing), seasmhachd (perseverance) and àrd-amas (ambition) at all times. Pupils’ achievements across the curriculum and beyond will be celebrated through ‘Rionnag na Mìos’ (Star of the Month) Assemblies, Tìde Teòclaid Teth (Hot Chocolate Time) with the Head Teacher and our Wider Achievements and ‘Life and Work of the School’ displays.

House Captains led their houses in linking our School Values to the UNCRC Rights of the Child. House Captains then sought the views of all children in their houses to come up with ideas for a School Charter based on what children should do to ensure these rights are respected and what adults should do to ensure these rights are respected. Our new school charter was then created and can be accessed here School Charter

Our Pupil Council then used the UNCRC Rights of the Child alongside our school values to create a Playground Charter which makes it explicit how children and duty bearers (the adults that work in the school) will ensure that all children have access to their rights in our playground. This can be accessed here Playground Charter

Further information on how we are developing positive relationships and a relational approach between all stakeholders can be found in our School Improvement Plan which is available on the ‘Ar Sgoil/Our School’ > ‘Plana Leasachaidh na Sgoile/School Improvement’ tab of this website.

In Sgoil Ùige, we believe that each child has a right to the best education which can be provided in a partnership between school, parents and the community. We therefore aim, through strong, consistent and fair management of pupil behaviour, to establish a happy, secure and purposeful environment in which each child may develop his or her full potential. Providing this good learning environment is an important precondition for pupils achieving the highest possible levels of attainment. Every child is therefore asked to conform to the expectations of the school and parents are kept informed so that they can support the systems in use.

School staff aim to put the emphasis on praise and reward for good behaviour.  We also seek to involve our pupils in determining rules for their own classrooms through class charters and encourage all our pupils to participate fully in the life of the school.

Both teaching and non-teaching staff seek to be consistent in their approaches when working with our pupils in and out of the classroom and seek to do all that they can in order to ensure a positive learning environment exists for all pupils.
