At Rushden Primary Academy we believe that teachers have a right to teach and children have a right to learn. Unacceptable behaviour is that which disrupts or prevents teaching and learning or threatens well-being. As such we have developed strategies which aim to:

• promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect
• prevent bullying
• foster responsibility for one's own conduct and the conduct of others
• ensure that learning is a priority, and
• identify clear steps and procedures when behaviour is not desirable and prevents learning

Below is a copy of our Behaviour Management Policy in full, which expands upon these points and outlines how misbehaviour is dealt with. All incidents of bullying, racism, derogatory/aggressive language and homophobia are addressed immediately and reported to Mrs Bacon. Also attached is our Behaviour Strategy.

Paper copies of both policies are available on request at admin@rushdenprimaryacademy.org.
