Pupil Behaviour
The school is concerned not only with children's educational progress but also with their personal and social development, and we try to combine high expectations with a sympathetic approach.
We have a code of conduct for everyone at Cambell, both children and adults, which includes:
- Attend regularly
- Arrive on time morning and afternoon
- Take pride in the way you dress, in your personal appearance
and in your work.
- Work to the best of your ability at all time - for the school,
your teacher, your parents and yourself.
- Make full use of the facilities and opportunities that Cambell
has to offer.
- Always show consideration to others.
As a school we recognise good behaviour and attitude in our pupils. Pupils are rewarded through praise and encouragement, team points and merit points.
Every week a pupil from each class is mentioned in the Honours Book during a whole school assembly, for an outstanding example of effort in work, attitude or consideration for others.
Every child has a chance to become 'Special Person' for a week with associated treats.
Daily monitoring of children's behaviour takes place through the use of the Conduct Card. This gives the parent weekly access to the picture of how their children have behaved.
When difficulties arise
Sometimes, however, problems do arise. We involve parents at an early stage, and we hope that you will do the same with us. A new baby or an upset at home can cause a child to behave differently at school, just as worry over school work or falling out with a friend can lead to problems at home.
When difficulties arise, we inform parents, who are asked to cooperate in dealing with them. A child, when reprimanded, may have to suffer withdrawal of priviledges or detention during morning playtime. These sanctions are usually recorded on the Conduct Card.
Further sanctions may include a behaviour contract or report and, in extreme circumstances, a child may be excluded from school.
In all cases we stress the need of being able to tak with parents. The well being of the children are our prime concern and this cannot be achieved without school and home, working in partnership.
