“Positive behaviour needs to be modelled by all adults and repeatedly reiterated to all pupils so that they can be reassured by the consistency of routine… the route to exceptional behaviour lies in the behaviour of every adult and their ability to create a culture of certainty.”
— Paul Dix, When the Adults Change, Everything Changes

​

As with everything we do at Claregate Primary School, we expect the behaviour and relationships of all members of our community to be excellent. We believe that relationships are a key driver of behaviours and that behaviours are a form of communication. We believe that positive relationships are key in promoting and maintaining the positive behaviours that we promote.

In a school setting, the behaviour of a class or individual pupils depend largely on the expectations that adults in the school hold and so we work on the simple principle that our expectations of pupils should always be clear and consistent.
