Behaviour
At Seymour we ensure that children have a caring environment where they feel safe, happy and nurtured. Our emphasis is on rewarding positive behaviour and preventing poor behaviour before it occurs. We expect all our children to know the school rules and to be honest and responsible regarding their own behaviour. We expect children to be ready to learn, respectful to all and keep themselves and others safe.
Behaviour is exemplary across the school. Pupils demonstrate impressive learning behaviours. They listen attentively to staff and strive to complete learning activities to a high standard. At playtime, pupils play and show consideration towards each other.

All staff are responsible for implementing Seymour Primary School Behaviour Policy consistently and fairly throughout the school by setting the standards required to promote positive behaviour.
The senior leadership team will ensure all staff adhere to our Behaviour Policy and implement effective systems for keeping records of all reported incidents, reporting to governors and parents when required.
Children are responsible for conducting themselves in-line with our Behaviour Policy. This includes in lessons, when moving around the school grounds, respresenting the school in other actvities and when in the community and wearing school uniform.
At Seymour we have clear behaviour expectations that all children will be expected to follow.
Conduct rules:
-
Be respectful and kind to everyone (in class, on the playground, online)
-
Move around the school in a calm and orderly fashion
-
Look after the school property and resources
Behaviour for learning rules:
-
Follow instructions
-
Work hard and do your best
-
Do not distract other children from their learning
-
Listen to adults and others
-
Don't call out
Where children follow the behaviour expectations, they will be rewarded for doing so. Where they are unable to follow our behaviour expectaions, this may lead to sanctions being put in place. The nature of the sanction is dependent on the behaviour type - the more serious the behaviour, the more significant the sanction is likely to be.
