At Keiss Primary School and Nursery, we want all of our children, staff and parents to feel welcome and to know they have an important role to play in our schools. We want all of our children to feel happy and safe and to enjoy coming to school, where they feel motivated to learn, understand what is expected of them in school and our community and enjoy relationships built on rapport and respect.
All staff and pupils share high expectations of behaviour. Our staff are role models for our children. Adults help all children to understand and maintain our school values by providing opportunities to learn about the impact of their actions, both positive and negative, on others and the relationships to which they belong. Relationships can be challenging but as a school and nursery, we are committed to developing our practice in emotional literacy, restorative practice, solution-orientated meetings, nurture, building resilience and the rights’ of our children to reflect a progressive approach to living in Scotland in the 21st century.
To ensure consistency in our approach, this policy supersedes previous policies implemented in our cluster schools and nursery. This policy provides a universal approach to managing relationships to ensure that we achieve our vision for learners in Keiss Primary School and Keiss Nursery.
