Supporting younger children
Behaviour
Please support your child by reminding them of their responsibilities and our
school behaviour expectations.
When behaviour is not of an appropriate level, you will be informed and asked to
discuss this with us and your child.
We are positive that your children will set the standards high and maintain the
behaviour we know they are capable of this year.
‘Good to be Green!’Your child will strive to remain ‘green’ on the class
‘Good to be Green!’ chart. If your child is not able to follow school rules, the
following changes will be made to the ‘Good to be Green!’ chart:
Warning card (YELLOW) – this will be given when low level inappropriate behaviour has
occurred in school or at break times. Your child’s name will be recorded on a class chart detailing the inappropriate behaviour. Letters will be sent home if a child receives 10 warning cards in a
half term. Consequence card (RED) – this will be given
when low level inappropriate behaviour is repeated after receiving a Warning card, or
when higher level inappropriate behaviour has occurred. Mrs Foad will be in touch with
parents/carers.
BullyingShepherd Primary School operates a
ZERO-TOLERANCE policy when it comes to bullying. If you feel your child is being treated inappropriately by
another child, please let your child’s class teacher know immediately. Any issues will be dealt with swiftly and in
accordance with our school ‘Anti-Bullying’ policy
This policy is available on our school website:
www.shepherd.herts.sch.uk
