Behaviour, Success and Achievement at Abbey Hey Primary School.
Rewards
At Abbey Hey we want to promote the best possible learning environment for our children to
succeed. This can only be done in collaboration with all parents, carers, children and staff.
We feel that the behaviour of our children is excellent. However, on occasion some children
may be involved in an incident, which requires a sanction. As a school we want to share our
expectations with you. We want our children to come to school and share an environment
where they will feel valued, safe and secure. To do this we want to promote a positive school
experience.
To promote a safe, secure positive environment for all, with high standards we as a school
have a set of school rules that help us to achieve this. We use lots of praise and incentives to
promote good behaviour and learning.


In order to achieve this we need everyone to follow our schools’ behaviour policy. (A copy
can be ordered at the school office if needed)

Abbey Hey offers our children the chance to develop socially, emotionally, physically and
academically.


This is done by quality first teaching, positivity, experiencing success, delivering a broad and
balanced curriculum and a combination of extracurricular activities throughout the year that
meet the needs of all children.

Smileys, an opportunity for children to receive rewards for having a positive
attitude, good behaviour etc. Children are then able to exchange their Smileys at
the smiley shop, which the children thoroughly enjoy.
Star of the Week certificates are given for many reasons such as showing a good
attitude, being helpful and kind around school.
Good work certificate, which is presented every week in a special assembly in
which parents and carers are invited into school to share success and rewards
with children.
Attendance awards for consistent good attendance which are given out each
Friday in assembly.
Star of the term certificates are given to children who have achieved well across
the whole term.
Star of the year certificates are given to children who are outstanding throughout
the year.
Sanctions
Some of the initiatives we have developed at our school are:

Booster classes to help develop literacy and numeracy skills
In school Intervention programs to help develop learning

we take whole school approach on this.

Verbal warning - If a child persists to do something inappropriate, then he or she
will receive a verbal warning.
Name on the board – If a child persists with negative behaviour their name will be
put on the board, this is to remind them that they have been warned and they
will be asked to work alone where they can concentrate more on what they are
supposed to be doing.
Tick by their name – If they continue to behave inappropriately a tick will be put
against their name, they will be asked to go to another class for 15 minutes and a
time for reflection.
Second tick – After the reflection period they return to their class, however if
poor behaviour continues they receive a second tick which will mean they spend
15 minutes in “time out” at lunchtime.
On occasion a child might get involved in something more severe, which might need to be
dealt with by the Head teacher or a senior member of staff. In which case a letter or a phone
call with a parent or carer might be required. But may I stress that this only something that
happens on very rare occasions.
The utmost effort is made by everyone to create a positive learning environment for all
before any of the above sanctions are used. We look forward to hearing from you the
parents and carers with any ideas you may have that will enhance all of the positives we
already have in our school.
Thank you for your support.
