Vision and Values 

At Welbourne Primary Academy, we believe a positive and respectful learning environment is key to your child's success. This behaviour policy is designed to do two important things: 

• Create a happy and productive school community: We want Welbourne Primary Academy to be a place where every child feels safe, valued, and able to learn without distractions. This means fostering good manners, kindness, and a sense of responsibility in all our pupils. 

• Prepare you for the future: The strong social and academic skills developed at primary school are essential for success in secondary school and the ever-evolving workplace and world. This policy focuses on positive reinforcement, clear expectations and consistent consequences, mirroring the approach the children will encounter later in life. 

This isn't just about rules; it's about building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success. We believe by working together – staff, pupils, and parents – we can create a fantastic learning environment where everyone thrives. We encourage you to read this policy carefully with your child. Together, let's make Welbourne Primary Academy a place where everyone feels happy, supported and ready to achieve their full potential! 

At Welbourne, we teach and model behaviour based on a set of core values which guide all members of the school community: 

• Honesty 

Be truthful to ourselves and others 

• Excellence 

Be motivated and strive to be the best in all that we do 

• Aspiration 

Aim high and dream big 

• Respect 

Respect for ourselves, each other and the environment 

• Teamwork 

To work together and be supportive of each other 

 

Excellent Behaviour 

At Welbourne, we recognise the importance of establishing excellent behaviour. This refers to social behaviours that are intended to help others and behaviours that conform to rules and/or are socially acceptable. Our emphasis is on promoting the positive, and teaching children how to behave ‘excellently’ in any situation or within any group of people. The whole school community will teach behaviour through: 

• Building good relationships 

• Role modelling 

• Consistency 

• Scripts and routines 

• Positive Phrasing 

• Praise and encouragement 

• Planning and the explicit teaching of behaviour and routines. 

 

The School Rules  

The school rules are linked to our school values. We explicitly teach children how to follow the school rules by teaching the excellent behaviours that they will need to exhibit. This will be achieved through whole school assemblies and explicit teaching within the classroom. A strapline is used to support each rule and all staff will use terminology below to frame our conversations regarding behaviour with both children and parents. 

• Be kind (Bucket Filler) 

Respect and Team Work 

• Be ready to learn (Knock someone’s socks off) 

Excellence and Aspiration 

• Be responsible (With great responsibility comes great power) 

Honesty  

Learning Behaviours

At Welbourne Primary Academy, our children develop learning behaviours that support children in taking responsibility for their own actions and achievements.
