Our vision is for all children to **flourish** and to **“live life in all its fullness.”** We believe every child deserves the best possible education and should feel valued and included within our school community. We pride ourselves on building **positive relationships** between children, staff, parents, and the wider community. We recognise that **behaviour is a form of communication**, and understanding emotions is key to managing behaviour successfully. Through the approaches outlined in this policy, we aim to help both adults and children **understand and regulate their own behaviour**, creating a secure environment that supports learning. As a school, we see it as our role to **educate everyone on recognising and regulating emotions effectively**. This underpins our commitment to **reflective thinking** and **restorative approaches**. Ultimately, we want to give children confidence in their ability to think for themselves and make sense of their own lives and experiences, preparing them for the world beyond the school gates. --- ### **Clear Rules and High Expectations** While we understand that behaviour can be a form of communication, we also have a **duty to maintain high expectations for behaviour**. We teach children **appropriate ways to behave and show respect**, ensuring they develop the social and emotional skills needed for success in school and beyond. We have **clear rules and expectations** designed to promote **positive behaviour and conduct**. These help prepare children for their **next stages of education** and instil **values for life**, ensuring they grow into responsible, respectful, and resilient individuals. --- ### **Purpose of This Policy** This policy applies to **all staff, pupils, parents/carers, governors, visitors, and partner agencies** working within the school. It provides clear **guidelines and procedures** on how we support and respond to behaviour. We acknowledge that members of our school community may have different lived experiences and views on behaviour. However, our **Relationship and Regulation Policy** aims to bring everyone together to create a **consistent, fair, and well-understood approach** that reflects our school ethos. ### Behaviour Documents Behaviour Policy 2026-2027 1.65 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Relational_Behaviour_Policy_2026-2027(1).pdf) Graduated Response 1.63 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Graduated_Response_for_actions.png) Home - School Agreement 115 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Home_School_Agreement_2026.docx) --- ### Our School - [Our School Vision, Mission and Values](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/our-school-vision-mission-and-values) - [Our Staff Team](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/our-staff-team) - [Our History](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/our-ethos) - [Governors](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/governors) - [Worship](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/worship) - [Inclusion and SEND](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/send-and-inclusion) - [Equality and Diversity](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/equality-and-diversity) - [Behaviour Expectations](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/school-behaviour-expectations) - [Climate Action](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/climate-action) - [Statutory Information](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/statutory-information) - [Newsletters and school letters](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/newsletters-and-school-letters) - [Admissions and Appeals](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/admissions-and-appeals) - [School Policies](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/school-policies) - [Friends of St Peter's Primary School](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/friends-of-st-peter-s-primary-school) - [Wrap Around Childcare Provision](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/breakfast-club) - [Clubs](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/clubs) - [Job Vacancies](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/job-vacancies) ![St. Peter's C of E Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/logo/Home_logo_(1)-st-peters.png) ### St. Peter's C of E Primary School School Road Heysham LA3 2RF 01524 852155 ### Chair of Governors Information - [Mr Matthew Entwistle](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/governors) - [Chairofgovernors@stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/heyshamstpetersprimary) - [X](https://twitter.com/StPetersCofEPri) © Copyright 2023–2026 St. Peter's C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
