Behaviour at Rushmere Hall

Ensuring a happy, healthy environment in which our children enjoy learning is central to our ethos.
All children are in the charge and care of their class teacher who has the responsibility for their well-being, essentially forming the home-school link for parents & carers.
Our aim is for every child to become a responsible, caring person with self-discipline and respect for others. We can work to achieve this best in an environment where kindness and an awareness of others lead to good standards of behaviour. We establish this through our ‘PRIDE’ rules.

However, a situation may arise, as in any family, when a child needs support to correct behaviour. Where this occurs, the school staff will be responsible for dealing ‘firmly but fairly’ with any child involved. It is our belief that the need for sanctions can be avoided if the rules are positive and fair; clearly stated and understood; acceptable to the children & school; clearly supported by the parents. A full copy of the school’s key policies are included on the Key policy page.
