Pupils are expected to:

• Behave in an orderly and self-controlled way
• Show respect to members of staff and each other
• In class, make it possible for all pupils to learn
• Move quietly around the school
• Treat the school buildings and school property with respect
• Wear the correct uniform at all times
• Accept sanctions when given
• Refrain from behaving in a way that brings the school into disrepute, including when outside school or online

Where appropriate and reasonable, adjustments may be made to routines within the curriculum to ensure all pupils can meet behavioural expectations in the curriculum.

6.1 Mobile phones

• Pupils must comply with the Acceptable Use  Policy document  (explained at age appropriate levels to children)
• Pupils must follow Online Safety rules – see Online Safety policy and curriculum
• Pupils must not carry or use mobile phones at school.
• Pupils cannot bring  personal devices such as phones to  school without prior  agreement  and arrangement between parent and school.
• Once on site, the mobile phone must be given to the office for safekeeping  until home time.

7. Responding to behaviour

7.1 Classroom management

Teaching and support staff are responsible for setting the tone and context for positive behaviour within the school.

They will:

• Create and maintain a stimulating environment that encourages pupils to be engaged
• Induct and enforce  the school Good to be Green behaviour system and rules consistently.
• Develop a positive relationship with pupils, which may include:
  • Greeting pupils in the morning/at the start of lessons
  • Establishing clear routines
  • Communicating expectations of behaviour in ways other than verbally
  • Highlighting and promoting good behaviour
  • Concluding the day positively and starting the next day afresh
  • Having a plan for dealing with low-level disruption
  • Using positive reinforcement

7.2 Safeguarding

• The school recognises that changes in behaviour may be an indicator that a pupil is in need of help or protection.
• We will consider whether a pupil’s misbehaviour may be linked to them suffering, or being likely to suffer, significant harm. 
• Where this may be the case, we will follow our child protection and safeguarding policy, and consider whether pastoral support, an early help intervention or a referral to children’s social care is appropriate. 
• Please refer to our Safeguarding and Child Protection  policy for more informationhttps://primarysite-prod-sorted.s3.amazonaws.com/tudor-primary-school/UploadedDocument/26ef0b47-4ad9-48e3-af76-f7340cb15344/safeguarding-cp-policy-22-23.pdf  .

7.3 Responding to good behaviour :  Please see Good to be Green System (Appendix 2)

• When a pupil’s behaviour meets or goes above and beyond the expected behaviour standard, staff will recognise it with positive recognition and reward.
• This provides an opportunity for all staff to reinforce the school’s culture and ethos.
• Positive reinforcements and rewards will be applied clearly and fairly to reinforce the routines, expectations and norms of the school’s behaviour culture.

• Positive behaviour will be reinforced  with rewards  which  could include :

• Praise and recognition  in front of the class  or in assemblies etc
• Stickers , stars , class points  certificates etc ,
• Class system of rewards eg prize box
• A positive note or Good to be Green note sent home by the teacher
• Opportunity to show work to senior staff
• Special responsibilities/privileges  eg monitors, buddy for new pupils etc
• Sanctions ( please see section on Behaviour Management below)

7.4 Responding to misbehaviour : Please see Good to be Green System (Appendix 2)

• When a pupil’s behaviour falls below the standard that can reasonably be expected of them, staff will respond in order to restore a calm and safe learning environment, and to prevent recurrence of misbehaviour. 
• Staff will endeavour to create a predictable environment by always challenging behaviour that falls short of the standards, and by responding in a consistent, fair and proportionate manner, so pupils know with certainty that misbehaviour will always be addressed.
• De-escalation techniques can be used to help prevent further behaviour issues arising, such as the use of pre-arranged scripts and phrases.
• All pupils will be treated equitably under the policy, with any factors that contributed to the behavioural incident identified and taken into account.
• When giving behaviour sanctions, staff will also consider what support could be offered to a pupil to help them to meet behaviour standards in the future.

• The school may use 1 or more of the following sanctions in response to unacceptable behaviour:

• Sending the pupil out of the class
• A verbal reprimand and reminder of the expectations of behaviour
• Setting of written tasks such as an account of their behaviour
• Expecting work to be completed at home, or at break or lunchtime
• Missing   break or lunchtime  minutes ,

• School-based community service, such as tidying a classroom
• Referring the pupil to a senior member of staff
• Communication with  parents
• Agreeing a behaviour contract or system  behaviour system eg “checking in “
• Removal of the pupil from the classroom
• Internal exclusion / Time Out
• Exclusions, in the most serious of circumstances

Personal circumstances of the pupil will be taken into account when choosing sanctions and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis, but with regard to the impact on perceived fairness.

7.5 Reasonable force

Reasonable force covers a range of interventions that involve physical contact with pupils. All members of staff have a duty to use reasonable force, in the following circumstances, to prevent a pupil from:

• Causing disorder
• Hurting themselves or others p
• Damaging property
• Committing an offence

Incidents of reasonable force must:

• Always be used as a last resort
• Be applied using the minimum amount of force and for the minimum amount of time possible
• Be used in a way that maintains the safety and dignity of all concerned
• Never be used as a form of punishment
• Be recorded and reported to parents (see appendix 3 for a behaviour log)

When considering using reasonable force, staff should, in considering the risks, carefully recognise any specific vulnerabilities of the pupil, including SEND, mental health needs or medical conditions. Tudor School has several Team Teach  positive handling trained staff.

7.6 Confiscation, searches, screening  

Searching, screening and confiscation is conducted in line with the DfE’s latest guidance on searching, screening and confiscation.

Confiscation

• Any prohibited items (listed in section 3) found in a pupil’s possession as a result of a search will be confiscated. These items will not be returned to the pupil.
• We will also confiscate any item that is harmful or detrimental to school discipline. These items will be returned to pupils after discussion with senior leaders and parents, if appropriate.

Searching a pupil

• Searches will only be carried out by a member of staff who has been authorised to do so by the headteacher, or by the headteacher themselves.
• Subject to the exception below, the authorised member of staff carrying out the search will be of the same sex as the pupil, and there will be another member of staff present as a witness to the search.
• An authorised member of staff of a different sex to the pupil can carry out a search without another member of staff as a witness if:

• The authorised member of staff carrying out the search reasonably believes there is risk that serious harm will be caused to a person if the search is not carried out as a matter of urgency; and
• In the time available, it is not reasonably practicable for the search to be carried out by a member of staff who is the same sex as the pupil; or
• It is not reasonably practicable for the search to be carried out in the presence of another member of staff

• When an authorised member of staff conducts a search without a witness they should immediately report this to another member of staff, and ensure a written record of the search is kept.
• If the authorised member of staff considers a search to be necessary, but is not required urgently, they will seek the advice of the headteacher, designated safeguarding lead (or deputy) or pastoral member of staff who may have more information about the pupil. During this time the pupil will be supervised and kept away from other pupils.
• A search can be carried out if the authorised member of staff has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the pupil is in possession of a prohibited item or any item identified in the school rules for which a search can be made, or if the pupil has agreed.
• An appropriate location for the search will be found. Where possible, this will be away from other pupils. The search will only take place on the school premises or where the member of staff has lawful control or charge of the pupil, for example on a school trip.

Before carrying out a search the authorised member of staff will:

• Assess whether there is an urgent need for a search
• Assess whether not doing the search would put other pupils or staff at risk
• Consider whether the search would pose a safeguarding risk to the pupil
• Explain to the pupil why they are being searched
• Explain to the pupil what a search entails – e.g. I will ask you to turn out your pockets and remove your scarf
• Explain how and where the search will be carried out
• Give the pupil the opportunity to ask questions
• Seek the pupil’s co-operation

• If the pupil refuses to agree to a search, the member of staff can give an appropriate behaviour sanction.
• If they still refuse to co-operate, the member of staff will contact the select appropriate [headteacher / designated safeguarding lead (or deputy) / pastoral lead], to try and determine why the pupil is refusing to comply.
• The authorised member of staff will then decide whether to use reasonable force to search the pupil. This decision will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration whether conducting the search will prevent the pupil harming themselves or others, damaging property or from causing disorder.
• The authorised member of staff can use reasonable force to search for any prohibited items identified in section 3, but not to search for items that are only identified in the school rules.
• The authorised member of staff may use a metal detector to assist with the search.

An authorised member of staff may search a pupil’s outer clothing, pockets, possessions, desks or lockers.

Outer clothing includes:

• Any item of clothing that is not worn immediately over a garment that is being worn wholly next to the skin or being worn as underwear (e.g. a jumper or jacket being worn over a t-shirt)
• Hats, scarves, gloves, shoes, boots

Searching pupils’ possessions

Possessions means any items that the pupil has or appears to have control of, including:

• Desks
• Lockers
• Bags

• A pupil’s possessions can be searched for any item if the pupil agrees to the search. If the pupil does not agree to the search, staff can still carry out a search for prohibited items (listed in section 3) and items identified in the school rules.
• An authorised member of staff can search a pupil’s possessions when the pupil and another member of staff are present.
• If there is a serious risk of harm if the search is not conducted immediately, or it is not reasonably practicable to summon another member of staff, the search can be carried out by a single authorised member of staff.

Informing the designated safeguarding lead (DSL)

The staff member who carried out the search should inform the DSL without delay:

• Of any incidents where the member of staff had reasonable grounds to suspect a pupil was in possession of a prohibited item as listed in section 3
• If they believe that a search has revealed a safeguarding risk

• All searches for prohibited items (listed in section 3), including incidents where no items were found, will be recorded in the school’s safeguarding system.

Informing parents

• Parents will always be informed of any search for a prohibited item (listed in section 3). A member of staff will tell the parents as soon as is reasonably practicable:

• What happened
• What was found, if anything
• What has been confiscated, if anything
• What action the school has taken, including any sanctions that have been applied to their child

Support after a search

• Irrespective of whether any items are found as the result of any search, the school will consider whether the pupil may be suffering or likely to suffer harm and whether any specific support is needed (due to the reasons for the search, the search itself, or the outcome of the search).
• If this is the case, staff will follow the school’s safeguarding policy and speak to the designated safeguarding lead (DSL). The DSL will consider if pastoral support, an early help intervention or a referral to children’s social care is appropriate.

Strip searches

• The authorised member of staff’s power to search outlined above does not enable them to conduct a strip search (removing more than the outer clothing)
• Strip searches on school premises shall only be carried out by police officers in accordance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) Code C. 
• Before calling the police into school, staff will assess and balance the risk of a potential strip search on the pupil’s mental and physical wellbeing and the risk of not recovering the suspected item.
• Staff will consider whether introducing the potential for a strip search through police involvement is absolutely necessary, and will always ensure that other appropriate, less invasive approaches have been exhausted first.
• Once the police are on school premises, the decision on whether to conduct a strip search lies solely with them. The school will advocate for the safety and wellbeing of the pupil(s) involved.
• Staff retain a duty of care to the pupil involved and should advocate for pupil wellbeing at all times.

Communication and record-keeping

• Where reasonably possible and unless there is an immediate risk of harm, staff will contact at least 1 of the pupil’s parents to inform them that the police are going to strip search the pupil before strip search takes place, and ask them if they would like to come into school to act as the pupil’s appropriate adult.
• If the school can’t get in touch with the parents, or they aren’t able to come into school to act as the appropriate adult, a member of staff can act as the appropriate adult (see below for the role of the appropriate adult).
• The pupil’s parents will always be informed by a staff member once a strip search has taken place. The school will keep records of strip searches that have been conducted on school premises, and monitor them for any trends that emerge.

Who will be present

• For any strip search that involves exposure of intimate body parts, there will be at least 2 people present other than the pupil, except in urgent cases where there is risk of serious harm to the pupil or others.

One of these must be the appropriate adult, except if

• The pupil explicitly states in the presence of an appropriate adult that they do not want an appropriate adult to be present during the search, and
• The appropriate adult agrees

If this is the case, a record will be made of the pupil’s decision and it will be signed by the appropriate adult.

No more than 2 people other than the pupil and appropriate adult will be present, except in the most exceptional circumstances[1] [2] .

The appropriate adult will:

• Act to safeguard the rights, entitlement and welfare of the pupil
• Not be a police officer or otherwise associated with the police
• Not be the headteacher
• Be of the same sex as the pupil, unless the pupil specifically requests an adult who is not of the same sex

Except for an appropriate adult of a different sex if the pupil specifically requests it, no one of a different sex will be permitted to be present and the search will not be carried out anywhere where the pupil could be seen by anyone else.

Care after a strip search

• After any strip search, the pupil will be given appropriate support, irrespective of whether any suspected item is found.
• The pupil will also be given the opportunity to express their views about the strip search and the events surrounding it.
• As with other searches, the school will consider whether the pupil may be suffering or likely to suffer harm and whether any further specific support is needed (due to the reasons for the search, the search itself, or the outcome of the search).
• Staff will follow the school’s safeguarding policy and speak to the designated safeguarding lead (DSL). The DSL will consider if, in addition to pastoral support, an early help intervention or a referral to children’s social care is appropriate.
• Any pupil(s) who have been strip searched more than once and/or groups of pupils who may be more likely to be subject to strip searching will be given particular consideration, and staff will consider any preventative approaches that can be taken.

7.7 Off-site misbehaviour

• Sanctions may be applied where a pupil has misbehaved off-site when representing the school. This means misbehaviour when the pupil is:

•  Taking part in any school-organised or school-related activity (e.g. school trips)
•   Travelling to or from school
•   Wearing school uniform
•   In any other way identifiable as a pupil of our school

• Sanctions may also be applied where a pupil has misbehaved off-site, at any time, whether or not the conditions above apply, if the misbehaviour:

•  Could have repercussions for the orderly running of the school
•   Poses a threat to another pupil 
•   Could adversely affect the reputation of the school

• Sanctions will only be given out on school premises or elsewhere when the pupil is under the lawful control of a staff member (e.g. on a school-organised trip).

7.8 Online misbehaviour

• The school can issue behaviour sanctions to pupils for online misbehaviour when:

• It poses a threat or causes harm to another pupil
• It could have repercussions for the orderly running of the school
• It adversely affects the reputation of the school
• The pupil is identifiable as a member of the school

• Sanctions will only be given out on school premises or elsewhere when the pupil is under the lawful control of a staff member.

7.9 Suspected criminal behaviour

• If a pupil is suspected of criminal behaviour, the school will make an initial assessment of whether to report the incident to the police. 
• When establishing the facts, the school will endeavour to preserve any relevant evidence to hand over to the police.
• If a decision is made to report the matter to the police, the headteacher / member of the senior leadership team  will make the report.
• The school will not interfere with any police action taken. However, the school may continue to follow its own investigation procedure and enforce sanctions, as long as it does not conflict with police action.
• If a report to the police is made, the designated safeguarding lead (DSL) will make a tandem report to children’s social care, if appropriate.

7.10 Zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment and sexual violence

• The school will ensure that all incidents of sexual harassment and/or violence are met with a suitable response, and never ignored.
• Pupils are encouraged to report anything that makes them uncomfortable, no matter how ‘small’ they feel it might be.
• The school’s response will be:

•   Proportionate
•   Considered
•   Supportive
•   Decided on a case-by-case basis

• The school has procedures in place to respond to any allegations or concerns regarding a child’s safety or wellbeing. These include clear processes for:

• Responding to a report including discussion with Social Care
• Carrying out risk assessments, where appropriate, to help determine whether to:
  • Manage the incident internally
  • Refer to early help
  • Refer to children’s social care
  • Report to the police

Please refer to our Safeguarding and Child Protection  policy for more information https://primarysite-prod-sorted.s3.amazonaws.com/tudor-primary-school/UploadedDocument/26ef0b47-4ad9-48e3-af76-f7340cb15344/safeguarding-cp-policy-22-23.pdf

7.11 Malicious allegations

• Where a pupil makes an allegation against a member of staff and that allegation is shown to have been deliberately invented or malicious, the school will consider whether to discipline the pupil in accordance with this policy.
• Where a pupil makes an allegation of sexual violence or sexual harassment against another pupil and that allegation is shown to have been deliberately invented or malicious, the school will consider whether to discipline the pupil in accordance with this policy.
• In all cases where an allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated, unfounded, false or malicious, the school (in collaboration with the local authority designated officer (LADO), where relevant) will consider whether the pupil who made the allegation is in need of help, or the allegation may have been a cry for help. If so, a referral to children’s social care may be appropriate.
• The school will also consider the pastoral needs of staff and pupils accused of misconduct.
• Please refer to our Safeguarding and Child Protection  policy and the appendices for more information on responding to allegations of abuse against staff or other pupils.

8. Serious sanctions 

8.1 Detention

• All members of staff have been authorised by the headteacher to  give pupils detentions.
• Pupils can be issued with detentions of up to 20 minutes during  lunch time .
• The school will decide whether it is necessary to inform the pupil’s parents. 
• When imposing a detention, the school will consider whether doing so would:

• Compromise the pupil’s safety
• Conflict with a medical appointment
• Prevent the pupil from getting home safely
• Interrupt the pupil’s caring responsibilities

8.2 Removal from classrooms

• In response to serious or persistent breaches of this policy, the school may remove the pupil from the classroom for a limited time.
• Pupils who have been removed will continue to receive education under the supervision of a member of staff that is meaningful, but it may differ from the mainstream curriculum.
• Removal is a serious sanction and will only be used in response to serious misbehaviour. Staff will only remove pupils from the classroom once other behavioural strategies have been attempted, unless the behaviour is so extreme as to warrant immediate removal.
• Removal can be used to:

• Restore order if the pupil is being unreasonably disruptive
• Maintain the safety of all pupils
• Allow the disruptive pupil to continue their learning in a managed environment
• Allow the disruptive pupil to regain calm in a safe space

• Pupils will not be removed from classrooms for prolonged periods of time without the explicit agreement of the headteacher.
• Pupils should be reintegrated into the classroom as soon as appropriate and safe to do so. The school will consider what support is needed to help a pupil successfully reintegrate into the classroom and meet the expected standards of behaviour.  
• Parents will be informed on the same day that their child is removed from the classroom.
• The school will consider an alternative approach to behaviour management for pupils who are frequently removed from class, such as :

• Meetings with assigned staff , pastoral support and parents
• Use of teaching assistants
• Short term behaviour plans
• Long term behaviour plans
• Engaging with local partners and agencies to address specific challenges such as poor anger management, a lack of resilience, and difficulties with peer relationships and social skills
• Referral to and support from other agencies eg Play Therapy, Clips, MHST, Primary Behaviour Service etc
• Pupil support units
• Multi-agency assessment

• Staff will record all incidents of removal from the classroom along with details of the incident that led to the removal, and any protected characteristics of the pupil in the behaviour log.

8.3 Suspension and permanent exclusions

• The school can use suspension and permanent exclusion in response to serious incidents or in response to persistent poor behaviour, which has not improved following in-school sanctions and interventions.  
• The decision to suspend or exclude will be made by the headteacher and only as a last resort.
• We will refer to Dfe &    Ealing exclusions guidance  for more information [Suspension and Permanent Exclusion from maintained schools, academies and pupil referral units in England, including pupil movement (publishing.service.gov.uk) ].

9. Responding to misbehaviour from pupils with SEND

9.1 Recognising the impact of SEND on behaviour

• The school recognises that pupils’ behaviour may be impacted by a special educational need or disability (SEND).
• When incidents of misbehaviour arise, we will consider them in relation to a pupil’s SEND, although we recognise that not every incident of misbehaviour will be connected to their SEND. Decisions on whether a pupil’s SEND had an impact on an incident of misbehaviour will be made on a case-by-case basis. 
• When dealing with misbehaviour from pupils with SEND, especially where their SEND affects their behaviour, the school will balance their legal duties when making decisions about enforcing the behaviour policy. The legal duties include:

• Taking reasonable steps to avoid causing any substantial disadvantage to a disabled pupil caused by the school’s policies or practices (Equality Act 2010)
• Using our best endeavours to meet the needs of pupils with SEND (Children and Families Act 2014)
• If a pupil has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, the provisions set out in that plan must be secured and the school must co-operate with the local authority and other bodies

• As part of meeting these duties, the school will anticipate, as far as possible, all likely triggers of misbehaviour, and put in place support to prevent these from occurring.
• Any preventative measures will take into account the specific circumstances and requirements of the pupil concerned.
• These  may include :

• Check in or Airlock Time to allow for emotional regulation and  de-escalation
• Short, planned movement breaks for a pupil with SEND who finds it difficult to sit still for long
• Adjusting seating plans
• Adjusting uniform requirements for a pupil with sensory issues
• Training for staff in understanding conditions such as autism, attachment,
• Use of separation spaces (sensory zones or nurture rooms) where pupils can regulate their emotions during a moment of sensory overload
• Support from support agencies eg  MHST+, Primary Behaviour Service etc

9.2 Adapting sanctions for pupils with SEND

• When considering a behavioural sanction for a pupil with SEND, the school will take into account:

• Whether the pupil was unable to understand the rule or instruction? 
• Whether the pupil was unable to act differently at the time as a result of their SEND? 
• Whether the pupil is likely to behave aggressively due to their particular SEND? 

• The school will then assess if it is appropriate to use a sanction and if so, whether any reasonable adjustments need to be made to the sanction.

9.3 Considering whether a pupil displaying challenging behaviour may have unidentified SEND

• The school’s special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) may evaluate a pupil who exhibits challenging behaviour to determine whether they have any underlying needs that are not currently being met.
• Where necessary, support and advice will also be sought from specialist teachers, an educational psychologist, medical practitioners and/or others, to identify or support specific needs.
• When acute needs are identified in a pupil, we will liaise with external agencies and plan support programmes for that child. We will work with parents to create the plan and review it on a regular basis.

9.4 Pupils with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan

• The provisions set out in the EHC plan must be secured and the school will co-operate with the local authority and other bodies.
• If the school has a concern about the behaviour of a pupil with an EHC plan, it will make contact with the local authority to discuss the issue. If appropriate, the school may request an emergency review of the EHC plan. ( Ealing Council, Perceval House, 14/16 Uxbridge Road, Ealing W5 2HL)

10. Supporting pupils following a sanction

• Following a sanction, the school will consider strategies to help pupils to understand how to improve their behaviour and meet the expectations of the school.
• This could include measures like:
  • Reintegration meetings
  • Behaviour Chart system
  • Pastoral Support

11. Pupil transition

11.1 Inducting incoming pupils

The school will support incoming pupils to meet behaviour standards by offering an induction process to familiarise them with the behaviour policy and the wider school culture.

11.2 Preparing outgoing pupils for transition

• To ensure a smooth transition to the next year, pupils have transition sessions with their new teacher(s). In addition, staff members hold transition meetings.
• To ensure behaviour is continually monitored and the right support is in place, information related to pupil behaviour issues may be transferred to relevant staff at the start of the term or year.

 12. Training

Staff are provided with regular training on managing behaviour, including training on:

• Quality first teaching and the needs of the pupils at the school
• How SEND and mental health needs impact behaviour
• Positive Handling

• Behaviour management will also form part of continuing professional development.

13. Monitoring arrangements

13.1 Monitoring and evaluating school behaviour

• The school will collect data on the following:

• Behavioural incidents
• Attendance, permanent exclusion and suspension 
• Use of pupil support units, off-site directions and managed moves
• Incidents of searching, screening and confiscation

• The school will analysis the information  to make sure it is meeting its duties under the Equality Act 2010.
• If any trends or disparities between groups of pupils are identified by this analysis, the school will review its policies to tackle it.

13.2 Monitoring this policy

• This behaviour policy will be reviewed by the headteacher and the Children, Family and Community Committee (CFCC)  as needed to address findings from the regular monitoring of the behaviour data (as per section 13.1). At each review, the policy will be approved by the CFCC.
• The written statement of behaviour principles (appendix 1) will be reviewed and approved by the Children, Family and Community Committee  (CFCC) as needed.

14. Links with other policies

This behaviour policy is linked to the following policies

• Child protection and safeguarding policy
• Positive Handling policy
• Exclusions guidance
• Mobile phone policy
