Behaviour

At All Saints Catholic College our aim is to ensure excellent standards in the teaching of all subjects. The purpose of the school’s policy is to produce a working document which reflects the current needs of the school.

Our Catholic identity is central to everything we do and we want our pupils to develop their Catholic faith in a spirit of tolerance and understanding necessary for life in a multifaith and ethnically diverse society. All Saints is dedicated to the ongoing education of children within the mission and vision of Shrewsbury Diocese. We acknowledge that parents / carers are the first educators of their children and we support them in this role.

We have a whole school Behaviour and Relationships Policy that aims to:

  • Reward those pupils who always try hard and behave well
  • Support those pupils whose learning is negatively affected by the behaviour of others
  • Support those pupils whose behaviour prevents them from learning effectively
  • Support teachers to ensure that effective teaching and learning is taking place

A full copy of this policy is available from the school or on in the 'Policies and Procedures' section of our website.

Classroom Behaviour

It is essential that staff manage persistent low-level behaviour that disrupts the learning of others by giving clear signals to pupils of the inevitable consequences of continued misbehaviour. Staff will use and adapt behaviour management strategies to help support pupils and prevent them from entering the next behaviour process. A pupil may be removed by a class teacher for persistent disruptive behaviour that breaches our schools’ high expectations and policy.

The ‘Behaviour for Learning’ steps and expectations are displayed in classrooms and arounds school and are used to remind pupils of the high standards we expect at All Saints. All staff will use key appropriate classroom management strategies before initiated the below steps.

Outside of Classroom behaviour

To keep All Saints a welcoming and respectful environment, pupils are expected to:

  • Keep the school clean and tidy
  • Move calmly through corridors
  • Act safely and politely in all recreation areas
  • Be courteous to all staff and pupils
  • Queue properly on the yard and enter the dining hall only when instructed
  • Put all rubbish in the bins

Offsite Behaviour

When wearing our uniform or representing All Saints, pupils are ambassadors for the school and must behave with respect and good manners at all times. Sanctions may be applied for misbehaviour off site when a pupil is:

  • Taking part in any school-organised or school-related activity
  • Travelling to or from school.
  • Wearing school uniform
  • Identifiable as a member of the All Saints community
