Academy Behaviour
We have very high expectations of behaviour at Viewley Hill Academy and we are proud of our very good behaviour. We are always impressed with the behaviour and attitudes of our children; continually they work hard and show the best of themselves. Every day we look towards the positive as a way of teaching the children everything that they can be.
Children and adults are expected to use good manners at all times and treat everyone with respect. We encourage and reward good behaviour e.g. with our ‘Smileys’ reward scheme which allows the children to work in teams across school to reach a common goat. Our Star of the Week from each teacher and senior leader is an individual reward for having 100% attendance and punctuality that week, being in uniform and being the best versions of themselves. We want children to know how to behave well so that all children can learn and grow up to be good and trustworthy citizens.
We have five ‘VIEWLEY VALUES’ that underpin our good behaviour and which help the children learn what is meant by ‘good’ behaviour. Our values are:
- We try our best.
- We listen.
- We are respectful.
- We are honest.
- We are kind and helpful.
We set clear limits to poor behaviour and we encourage children to take responsibility for their own actions and understand the impact that it has on others through restorative conversations.
We know that sometimes things don’t always go well and when this happens, we give children time-out to reflect and get their behaviour back on the right track. We will let you know if there are concerns and hope that you will work with us to help your child improve their behaviour.
If you have any problems with your child’s behaviour, please let us know as we may be able to help or offer support. Please contact the class teacher, Mrs Moore, our Parent Support Adviser or Mrs Scaife Assistant Headteacher for Pastoral and Inclusion.
