This code of conduct and the school rules have been formulated with the safety and well‐being of the children in mind, and to enable the school to function efficiently as a place of learning.

Consequences for not following the school rules are:

A major aim of the school policy is to encourage children to practise good behaviour by operating a system of praise and reward. This is for all children.

The Windmill Hill scheme is based on an online interactive points system called Class Dojo.

We celebrate children’s achievements and good behaviour with certificates. Incentive stickers are available for everyone. These stickers are used by all teachers, classroom assistants and midday assistants to encourage good behaviour and good work. In addition, each class teacher gives verbal or written praise as often as possible.

Each week a Star of the Week is chosen from each class. The Headteacher hosts a Hot Chocolate and biscuits session in her room to celebrate their success.

We can solve all problems, if we know about them. Please talk to your child’s teacher, in the first instance, and then the Headteacher if the problem is not resolved. If any parent is still not satisfied they are asked to write to the Chair of Governors, care of the school.
