Teachers’ powers to discipline include the power to discipline pupils even when they are not at school or in the charge of a member of staff. The scheme is very visual, with child friendly resources which allow our pupils to easily see how they are doing in class. We believe that it is important to promote a positive message regarding behaviour management at all times- ‘Good to be Green’ is a means of promoting our high expectations of positive behaviour. If a child has had a bad day, they can start afresh the following day.

The decision to punish the pupil and the punishment itself must be made on the school premises or while the pupil is under the charge of the member of staff; Is the behaviour in breach of the school Behaviour Policy? If so, have any other sanctions described in the policy been used and to what effect? Could any other sanctions be used as an alternative with the parents’ agreement? Letting your grass grow longer between cuts not only saves petrol or electricity, and therefore reduces carbon dioxide emissions, but also encourages more wildlife into your garden. Longer grass is more drought-resistant, too. Try cutting every three or four weeks and let dandelions, daisies and violets bloom in spring, followed by buttercups, clovers and selfheal in summer.

If, during the day, a child has to be reminded about their behaviour they will be given a ‘Stop and think!’ card which allows them to reflect and change their behaviour. Just as we see how important it is to take our environment into account when it comes to policy decisions about transport networks, economic activities and healthcare, we should integrate environmental parameters across our different areas of life. This does not mean that environmental concerns will govern all our decisions, but they should be a factor for consideration. Environmental stewardship and awareness should be part of our civic responsibilities.Weapons and knives must always be handed over to the police otherwise it is for the teacher to decide if and when to return a confiscated item. Crops can’t be grown every year in the same soil without replacing nutrients taken by the plants, and switching the flour you use can help. “Spelt or wheat is often grown in rotation with rye and clover to replace lost nitrogen,” says Hunter. “Eating rye supports the farmers’ rotation; I use spelt and emmer flour as an alternative to wheat because they have similar baking properties, while being beneficial to the soil.” Teachers have statutory authority to discipline pupils for misbehaviour which occurs in school and, in some circumstances, outside of school. The power to discipline also applies to all paid staff (unless the head teacher says otherwise) with responsibility for pupils, such as teaching assistants. Heads and governing bodies must ensure they have a strong behaviour policy to support staff in managing behaviour, including the use of rewards and sanctions.

The Headteacher (or Senior Teacher in the Headteacher’s absence) will decide whether to exclude a pupil, for a fixed term or permanently, taking into account all the circumstances, the evidence available and the need to balance the interests of the pupil against those of the whole school community and in accordance with the North Yorkshire Guidelines. If the inappropriate behaviour continues the child will be given a red card on the Going for Green Chart. The child completes their work at the designated Thinking Station in classroom away from peers for a period of 15mins in KS1 and 30 minutes in KS2. The child is not allowed to speak to peers and an adult will not speak to the child until the end of the timed period. At the end of the time of the teaching session the Teacher or Teaching Assistant will have a brief discussion about how to improve behaviour. Children are given clear guidelines of the appropriate behaviour and expectations in all areas based on our Golden Values system, School/Class rules and our Good to be Green scheme. The policy is applied before school activities, playtimes, lunchtimes, lesson times, school trips and clubs The purpose of the School Council is to encourage mutual respect between members of the school community, to help develop strong values and attitudes and to enable all pupils to feel that their views and opinions are important within the context of the whole school.By making yourself better aware of what is happening around us and sharing this information with others, not only are you helping others realize what impacts our activities are having on the planet and by extension our own future and wellbeing but you are also helping prompt others into action. #2 Commit to making small but important changes to your lifestyle Mammarella N, Di Domenico A, Palumbo R, Fairfield B.
