The relationship between a pupil and a teacher is similar to that of a child and a parent.  Mutual respect and consideration is expected at all times.  In Kildrum we foster a close relationship with parents/carers and keep you informed of any behaviour-related issues.  Class teachers manage day-to-day discipline but incidents of a more serious nature are referred to the head teacher or depute head teacher.  In school we have high expectations of children’s behaviour and support them to follow our three school rules:

• We are safe.
• We are ready.
• We are respectful.

These rules apply to all pupils, staff and parents.

 

Once a week all class teachers nominate one pupil from their class to meet with the head teacher for cakes and hot chocolate.  This is to celebrate the pupils and how their have displayed our school values.  Each week “Star Workers” are celebrated at assembly.  These are pupils who have done their very best work in order to make themselves and their teacher proud.

 

Throughout the year children can earn “Kildrum Coins” for following our school rules and displaying the school values.  At the end of each term all children are invited to come to the “Kildrum Shop” to spend their coins on small items of stationery, toys and games.

 

If a child has endangered other children or been disruptive to a level where it is detrimental to the education of the other pupils in the class, then North Lanarkshire’s Exclusion Policy will be enforced.  It is essential that children see the home and school working in partnership with both supporting them to behave responsibly and have a positive attitude.
