Behaviour for Learning
As a school we aim to create a positive ethos, with good relationships, equality of opportunity and respect for each other. We believe that the promotion of positive behaviour is fundamental to a happy, learning atmosphere which promotes a thirst for knowledge and learning, and high standards of educational achievement. Underlying all of this is our belief in our core values.
Rewards
At Hadleigh High School, praise, encouragement and rewards are central to the ethos of the school and we strongly believe that students should be regularly and fairly rewarded for their achievements, to not only celebrate students’ successes, but to also promote an ethos of high standards of effort, participation, behaviour, attendance and achievement. Our rewards systems and the celebration of success are essential and staff across the school systematically reward students across all year groups. The school operates a number of rewards systems that combine to support and reinforce a positive contribution to Hadleigh High School. Whole school rewards for students include:
- Certification of Attitude to Learning reports
- Certificates of Attendance
- 100% attendance - invitation to join 100% club, various rewards, ie, non uniform.
- Certification of positive behaviour (bronze/silver/gold/platinum/diamond awards)
- Positive Points via positive Go4Schools event, points to be accrued on online system, enabling students to access our online shop to choose/buy rewards
- Praise postcards/phone calls
- Headteachers commendation
- Aim High, Work Hard, Be Kind certificates nominated by Form Tutors
- End of year group activity
Consequences
Students at Hadleigh High School welcome the security of clearly defined boundaries. All our students know exactly what is expected of them and that rules will be enforced consistently. As such, it is important that rules, strategies and systems are clearly understood by all members of the school community and that they are applied consistently. With this in mind, our consequence system clearly outlines the expectations that are laid out for all students..
