How we encourage good behaviour
At Eversley Primary School we:
If children choose to behave appropriately they may also receive the following rewards:
Inappropriate behaviour
Any child who is not behaving appropriately will be given warnings to make the right choice to behave. If they continue to behave inappropriately their name will be moved down on the Golden Time warning chart in class. If there name is moved down the chart they will miss time during Golden Time. Occasionally this is not enough and children may be issued with the following cards. At the end of every half term you will be informed of any cards issued to your child.
Yellow Card
A yellow card will be given to a pupil who continues to demonstrate persistent low level disruptive behaviour. A yellow card may be used to ‘fast track’ serious inappropriate behaviour. Parents may be contacted. When a pupil is given a yellow card the teacher will record this on a yellow incident form which will be kept on record and the child will attend a lunchtime detention: 15 minutes in KS1 and 30 minutes in KS2.
Red Card
In any half-term a third yellow card will trigger the issue of a red card. These may also be used to ‘fast track’ for very serious inappropriate behaviour.
Any red card issued will involve the Deputy Headteacher, Headteacher or member of the Senior Leadership Team. This will be followed by formal contact with parents and result in an appropriate consequence, e.g:
All children are given a fresh start every half term.
How we handle children
In an emergency teachers are allowed to use “reasonable restraint” to prevent a child from injuring themselves or others. When other strategies have failed, and there is a need to keep order and discipline, teachers may use “reasonable force” to remove a child from a situation. Physical contact and intervention is only part of a continuum of care and control within the school. All parents will be contacted if restraint is ever used.
Further Support
If your child displays challenging behaviour at any times and you would like further support then please contact our Behaviour Support Worker in school. We are happy to work with you to support you and your child.

Please do come into school if you have any questions or queries about your child’s behaviour or if you would like to know more about our policy.
