Behaviour

We expect high standards of behaviour at Rossett Acre so that the children are able to benefit from the high-quality teaching and educational experiences which we offer.

Developing sensible and confident children who are well equipped to face the challenges and choices of life during and after their primary school years, is our aim.

In order to maintain these high standards and for continuous improvement in all areas of school life, we have a whole school Relationships and Restorative Practice policy which was developed in consultation with governors, staff, parents and pupils. Within this, appropriate behaviour is reinforced through constant positive encouragement and praise; whereas, less desirable behaviours are corrected within a supportive and nurturing framework.

Behaviour at Rossett Acre is of a very high standard; however, on the rare occasions that relationships break down, the restorative approach focuses on an obligation to repair the harm done, within a continuum of respect and support. Parents are involved in this when required.

Ready, Respectful and Safe (RRS) was introduced in April 2019 as our school rules; our overarching Golden Rule is ‘treat others the way you would like to be treated’. All children attending Rossett Acre are expected to adhere to these. It follows from the rules that bullying, racism and sexual harassment is not tolerated at Rossett Acre and we deal with incidents seriously, involving parents. Furthermore, class charters are developed each September with the children and are firmly grounded in the Articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
