At Russells Hall we have a restorative approach to behaviour
management and our approach is based on three clear rules:

 Be Ready

Be Respectful

Be Safe

We teach and model the behaviour that we want to see in our school; our aim is to create a culture where exceptional behaviour is expected: for learning and for life. All staff are trained to use the Pivotal approach which has is underpinned by the five ‘Pillars of Pivotal Practice’.

These are:

· Consistent, calm adult behaviour

· First attention to best conduct

· Relentless routines

· Scripting difficult interventions

· Restorative follow up

Recognition and Reward

At Russells Hall, we recognise, value and reward exceptional behaviour. We notice pupils who go ‘over and above’ our expectations. We reward sincerely through positive recognition, giving attention to those doing the right things and taking the fame out of bad behaviour. Ways that we will recognise exceptional behaviour:

· Public praise

· A quiet word

· House-points

· A message home in the form of a Proud Post 

· Stickers 

· Celebration Newsletters

· Assemblies

Our whole school BEHAVIOUR BLUEPRINT is displayed for all pupils, teachers and visitors to read and refer to when needed. Our blueprint is a one page snapshot of our behaviour policy and provides a simple guide for all to follow. A copy of this blueprint can be read below.

Along with the Behaviour Blueprint, the child friendly version of our behaviour policy, which is displayed on our Behaviour Policies board, can be viewed below.
