Sanctions and Consequences Sample Clauses
Sanctions and Consequences. Although Keswick School aims to focus on positives, there are unfortunately occasions when a tiny minority of students let themselves, the school and others down through unacceptable behaviour. We want students to take responsibility for their behaviour. We will encourage students to do this through strategies like restorative justice which enable students to reflect on their behaviour and to make amends. This process does not, however, replace consequences. At our school, we know that consistency is essential for students to understand what is expected. It is vital that children learn that there are always consequences for unacceptable behaviour which undermine the positive atmosphere of our school community. It is essential that students and parents are aware of the contents of the school Behaviour Policy. This outlines the expected behaviour and the sanctions and consequences that will be applied if behaviour falls below the required standards. The current Behaviour Policy can be found on the school website under ‘Our School’ and ‘Policies’.

We want pupils to take responsibility for their behaviour and will encourage pupils to do this through restorative justice approaches which enable pupils to reflect on their behaviour and to make amends. This process does not, however, replace consequences. At our school, we know that consistency is essential for pupils to understand what is expected of them and to avoid mixed messages. It is vital that children learn early on in life that there are always consequences for poor and unacceptable behaviour which undermine the positive atmosphere of our academy community.
