What is a School Behaviour Policy?

A school behaviour policy is an essential document that sets the standards of conduct expected from students within a school. It outlines the responsibilities of both students and staff in maintaining a positive learning environment. This policy is pivotal in fostering respect, safety, and learning among all members of the school community.

Key Elements of a Secondary/Primary School Behaviour Policy

The behaviour policy in a school typically includes several key components:

Code of Conduct: Clearly defines acceptable and unacceptable behaviours in school.
Roles and Responsibilities: Specifies the responsibilities of students, teachers, and parents in upholding the code of conduct.
Rewards and Sanctions: Details the rewards for good behaviour and the consequences for inappropriate behaviour.
Bullying Prevention: Includes strategies for preventing and addressing bullying within the school.
