Behaviour

Children need to be in an environment where they feel safe and secure, this is essential if they are to learn effectively and develop a responsible attitude toward others.  Clearly defined rules and expectations contribute to the establishment of such an environment.

At Belmont Juniors we set a positive example ourselves as teachers, staff, parents and governors in the way we care, share, co-operate and show kindness and respect towards one another.

To support positive behaviour, we work to increase children’s self esteem. This is achieved through having shared vocabulary used by staff to empower children to deal with difficult situations, regular praise and explicit discussions about what children are doing that is so good/helpful and an agreed and regularly referred to set of rules, the 'Belmont Way' which is displayed in every classroom:

1. We follow instructions
2. We are kind
3. We try our best
