Discipline

At Locharbriggs Primary we expect a high standard of behaviour from our children. The rules are as follows:

1. No fighting or bullying
2. Children must not leave school at anytime without permission
3. They must look after themselves and one another
4. They must look after the school buildings, garden and trees.

The children are encouraged to play safely at all times. In running games they must look after themselves and the safety of others. Football is allowed only on the field.

There are playground supervisors on duty at all playtimes.

We consider there to be three rules for learning:

1. Follow the teacher’s instructions
2. Raise your hand and wait permission before speaking
3. Allow others to get on with their work without interruption

Children not following these rules will be issued with a verbal warning. Should the child continue to misbehave, then the pupil will change seat and the class teacher will record the behaviour in the behaviour book. If there is concern about a child regularly disobeying then the child is referred to the Head Teacher. Regular and serious breaches of discipline will result in a letter home and the parents’ co-operation sought. In very serious situations exclusion procedures will be used.

Golden Time     

We aim to provide a happy and secure environment for all those who work in or visit us. To meet this Golden Rules have been established whereby a system of incentives and rewards are given based on the keeping of these Golden Rules. These rules are the moral values that inform and develop the culture of the school.

GOLDEN RULES

• Treat EVERYONE in the school with respect

• Always be kind, friendly and helpful to each other

• Always try to do our best

• Travel safely around the school

Incentive

Pupils who keep the Golden Rules will be rewarded with 25 minutes of free activity called Golden Time.
