Discipline and Behaviour Policy
Behaviour in school is the responsibility of the whole community including children, teaching
staff, non-teaching staff, parents and governors. To this end, the school staff and its
Governing Body, in consultation with the parents, have produced a detailed policy in
behaviour within this school. A full copy of our Behaviour Policy is available from the
school. It has been drawn up based on a firm belief that our children behave best when:
- they work in a pleasant stimulating and ordered environment;
- the work is well matched to their individual needs;
- the ethos of mutual respect and care is nurtured;
- there are high expectations in work and behaviour;
- they work within well defined boundaries and obey school rules.
At Freeman's School a high standard of self-discipline is expected among our children and,
therefore, school rules are kept to a minimum. We expect movement around the school to be
orderly and above all we like common sense and courtesy to prevail. Sanctions and
punishments are restricted to a minimum. Withdrawal from break times for additional work is
normally punishment enough to our children. However, for persistent misbehaviour,
consultation with parents will take place after which a contract of behaviour will be established
here the school, child and parents enter a mutual agreement for future behaviour and
sanctions applicable, if the contract is broken.
