In\u00a0St James’\u00a0we believe in a\u00a0supportive caring ethos in which behaviour is managed positively and consistently. It provides children with a secure framework in which they will develop skills and strategies to help them take responsibility for their own behaviour. The relationship between teacher and pupil should be similar to that between parent and child requiring mutual trust, respect and consideration.<\/p>\n
In managing behaviour, we recognise the importance of all adults as good role models. In promoting positive relationships we will, as a school community, share the values of caring, respect, honesty, responsibility, patience and equality.<\/p>\n
We recognise that all adults in the school should share responsibility for the good discipline within St James’.<\/p>\n
