Behaviour Policy

Introduction

This behaviour policy sits alongside the full school behaviour policy which can be found on the school website.

The purpose of Breakfast Club and Kidscape After School Club is to provide a service for parents and for children. St Paul’s School Extended Services does not exist to “make a profit” for school but rather to help working parents, and occasionally to provide help for families which are struggling for various reasons. Indeed our prices and provision compare very favourably to other schools’ provision. Extended Services does place a greater workload upon school staff, both those who work directly in Extended Services (often having already worked a full school day) and also upon those staff who manage it, but we feel that it is a worthy service for our school families. It is important that both children and parents/ carers, as well as staff, recognise the reasons why Extended Services operates and respects those reasons.

Staff must deal with behaviour issues calmly and professionally and, of course, cultivate a warm, positive relationship with children so that poor behaviour is unlikely in the first place. Staff aim to promote positive relationships with parents and to keep parents fully informed.  Clear routines in Breakfast Club and Kidscape support good behaviour. This includes children being expected to tidy up after themselves, be polite and helpful etc – just as they would be expected to in the classroom or at home.

Staff should endeavour to be aware of any difficulties regarding special needs which a child may have, as this knowledge may help to support a child with particular needs. Those children are still expected to behave well, with support, of course.

In the highly unlikely event that a child is very seriously disruptive eg a danger to themselves or others, and that child does not respond to the usual requests from staff, Positive Handling techniques may be considered – but only by two staff together who have had the full Positive Handling training. It may be best for staff to send a “help needed” orange card across to the main school building if Senior Leaders are in school so that a senior member of staff (not Mrs Robinson) can support. Parents/ carers would always be informed of the incident on the day and consideration would be given by the headteacher as to whether Breakfast Club/ Kidscape was suitable for that child. Such a situation would be very rare (and has never yet happened in the 5 years during which Extended Services has operated at St Paul’s).

Whilst we can never plan for every eventuality, the steps below are a guide to sanctions and reinforcement of positive behaviour.
