Positive Behaviour for Learning – Our Expectations
Positive Behaviour enables our students to grow to their full potential and to be responsible, creative
and thoughtful individuals. By providing clear guidelines, pupils will know what behaviours are, and are
not, acceptable. All pupils will be supported to abide by the guidelines as and when required.
