Lift Maltings is committed to the very highest standards of behaviour. The school will stop at nothing to fulfil its promise that no child’s progress will ever be negatively impacted by the behaviour of others. It is every child’s right to study in an environment that is safe, respectful and purposeful.
Where students are unable to adhere to these expectations, there will be both sanction and support. The school believes sanctions help students to understand that they have fallen below our expectations and it believes that with our support they will be able to better shape their future choices.
Aims
At Lift Maltings we appreciate the close link between student behaviour and student progress. Behaviour for Learning is a key focus within the school as we endeavour to help students become successful, respectful learners who demonstrate the courage to rise to challenges and the resilience not to falter when tasks are tough. We want our students to be ready to embrace their own learning opportunities with a “can do” positive mindset and allow others to do the same. Essentially, we want a school in which students’ behaviour not only allows learning to take place but also promotes learning. To this end our policy is driven by two key objectives:
To ensure that teachers and students can work in safe, ordered and focused behaviour for learning environments through the implementation of the 3-point plan (recognition of positive behaviour) and the internal removal room (used to address behaviour that is not conducive to positive learning outcomes) through restorative coaching conversations and self-reflection tasks.
To ensure that students appreciate how they can maximise their own learning potential by demonstrating positive learning behaviours.
