Promoting Positive Relationships and Behaviours

Pupils at JCP demonstrate positive attitudes towards their learning and behaviour. We aim to create an ethos where children’s strengths, attitudes and positive behaviours are nurtured, acknowledged and reinforced through effective strategies. At the heart of our school ethos are our College Values, Aspire, Inquire, Excel and Belong. These form the foundations of school life and are at the heart of all we do. ‘Belong’ is our most important value and places key importance on building positive relationships across the whole school community. 

We work closely with parents so that children receive consistent messages about how to behave at home and at school. We expect parents to support their child’s learning and to co-operate with us. We try to build a supportive dialogue between home and school, and we will inform parents if we have concerns about their child’s welfare or behaviour. As part of our behaviour policy, we recognise that parents should be fully informed about their child’s behaviour. Every effort is made to ensure that there is good communication between home and school. Should a child’s behaviour be cause for concern then parents will be contacted, and the matter discussed. 

It is our job to deal with incidents that arise in school. We ask parents not to intervene with another child, but to report the matter to us in school. If a parent would like to discuss an issue about their child’s behaviour or that of another child, we would ask that they contact their child’s class teacher in the first instance. Please refer to the Positive Relationships and Behaviour Policy on the school website.
