Our expectation of students at Wildern is that they are well motivated, co-operative and show respect for all other members of the community. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own behaviour, act with thought, care and respect; the basis of our rights respecting ethos.

 

Behaviour and Learning expectations

Wildern’s expectations of good behaviour are made very clear to all students and staff work alongside them to ensure that this is adhered to.

 

Students will:

  • Behave with courtesy and consideration
  • Ensure that positive behaviour for learning allows for focused study within the classroom
  • Be ready to learn, bring the correct equipment for learning
  • Be punctual
  • Conduct themselves in a positive and thoughtful way on their journey to and from school

We believe that motivating students by using appropriate rewards is an important part of our school system as it:

  • Creates a secure, orderly and working environment
  • Raises student self-esteem and makes them feel valued
  • Helps set goals for personal achievement
  • Rewards a variety of qualities and activities
  • Provides opportunities for students to aspire to and assume responsibilities
  • Motivates and encourages students to do their best
  • Develops students sense of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour

We use a variety of rewards from verbal praise, green/gold e-refs, postcards/letters/emails home, to formal recognition at celebration assemblies and celebration evenings.

    “All children have all these rights, no matter who they are, where they live, what language they speak, what their religion is, what they think, what they look like, if they are a boy or girl, if they have a disability, if they are rich or poor, and no matter who their parents or families are or what their parents or families believe or do. No child should be treated unfairly for any reason.”
