Discipline
Every pupil has a right to a good education. In order to achieve this, it is necessary for pupils to be well mannered in the classroom and to respect the feelings of classmates and members of staff. It is also necessary for pupils to develop good attitudes to their work and to take pride in the work they do. A high standard of behaviour is expected from all pupils at Tullos Primary School.
The school operates a staged approach to discipline and a copy of the Positive Behaviour Policy is available in the reception area.
It states clearly our procedure for dealing with persistent and serious misconduct. This procedure ranges through verbal warnings, written exercises, contacting parents, meeting with parents, withdrawal of privileges, exclusion from school trips, exclusion from school teams’ referrals e.g. to psychological services, MARG (multi-agency resource group), Social Work and for a few pupils, the possibility of short-term, long-term or permanent exclusion from school.
A thumbs up/down system is used in conjunction with our playground policy. Policies such as our MCARE Policy, Anti bullying Policy, Playground Policy and Positive Behaviour Policy are on display in our reception area.
GOLDEN RULES
At Tullos Primary School we ask the children to follow 6 Golden Rules –
Children who keep the Golden Rules anywhere in school are rewarded with Golden Time – a time in an afternoon once a week when they can choose a special activity to do.
