Behaviour for Learning Monitors

Behaviour

As your children are nearly the oldest in the school, they will be expected to set an

outstanding example of behaviour to all younger pupils at all times, including before and after

school.

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.

I am positive that your children will set the standards high and maintain the behaviour we

know they are capable of this year.
