Promoting Positive Relationships and Behaviour at Dysart Primary School<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Dysart Primary School we firmly believe that strong, trusting relationships are central to positive behaviour. This includes relationships between both adults and children and amongst peer groups.<\/p>\n

The Dysart Primary approach to building positive behaviour and relationships is below.<\/p>\n

Underpinning all approaches to relationships and behaviour is our understanding of 4Rs<\/p>\n

Promoting Positive Relationship and Behaviour Skills <\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Dysart Primary School we firmly believe that strong, trusting relationships are central to positive behaviour. This includes relationships between both adults and children and amongst peer groups.<\/p>\n

We expect all staff to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Be consistent, positive and calm<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • look for positives and focus on praising\/celebrating positive behaviour first<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • teach children how to be ready, respectful and safe<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • communicate clear expectations<\/li>\n
  • be relentless about routines<\/strong> \u2013 line up inside and outside the building, walking through the school, calm transitions<\/li>\n
  • use scripts to de-escalate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We use a range of approaches to help children to develop the skills to have positive relationships with others and resolve things when they go wrong. We recognise that nurturing approaches support children\u2019s wellbeing and their ability to regulate emotions.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Kitbag <\/strong>is used from Nursery to Primary 7<\/li>\n
    • Rights Respecting Class Charters<\/strong> are created with the children every August and referred to regularly. The charters lay down the expectations for pupils behaviour in terms of their rights and responsibilities. These are linked to our school values and wellbeing indicators.<\/li>\n
    • Curriculum <\/strong>promoting positive behaviour and relationships permeates our whole school curriculum. We recognise that we have to teach and model good behaviour and not simply expect it. Benchmarks within Health and Wellbeing focus in on teaching children strategies to help them deal with their emotional, mental and social wellbeing. We use Cool in School<\/strong> and the RSHP Programme to help children develop healthy relationship skills and to respond in a range of situations<\/li>\n
    • P7 Buddies<\/strong> look after and support P1 children in the first few months at Primary School.<\/li>\n
    • P6 and P7 Peer Mediators<\/strong>, help children to resolve differences they have in the playground and come to a resolution. Children can go to a peer mediator for help if they can\u2019t agree on a game or if they have had a small disagreement with friend or if they have a problem they need help with. The Peer Mediators have had two full days of training by Relationship Scotland to support them with this role.<\/li>\n
    • Every classroom has a calm area<\/strong> to provide a space for children to regulate when they need it<\/li>\n
    • We teach children different ways to regulate their emotions in different ways<\/strong>, e.g. breathing, mindfulness and movement<\/li>\n
    • Children have regular opportunities to be outdoors<\/strong> \u2013 we know this is good for wellbeing<\/li>\n
    • Playground zones<\/strong> set up to encourage children to collaborate with friends of different ages and play in different ways<\/li>\n
    • P6 and P7 Sports Ambassadors <\/strong>lead playground games for other children<\/li>\n
    • Playpod <\/strong>sessions support children in developing skills to problem solve and work together with others<\/li>\n
    • Lunchtime clubs indoors <\/strong>which provide a more predictable and structured lunchtime experience<\/li>\n
    • Breakfast Caf\u00e9 <\/strong>is free to all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
