Our School Rules underpin our behaviour policy. Our School Rules are based on key moral values and encourage children to be kind and helpful, honest, gentle, listen well, work hard and look after property. With this set of rules clearly depicted in the classroom and around the school, the children have a strong picture in their mind of what good and respectful behaviour is. Assemblies and class reflection time help to reinforce these rules.  

We recognise and reward learners who go ‘over and above’ our standards. Our staff understand that in the Carlisle and Hampton Hill Federation, we recognise that the use of praise in developing a positive atmosphere in the classroom cannot be underestimated and a quiet word of personal praise can be as effective as a larger, more public reward. It is the key to developing positive relationships, including with those learners who are hardest to reach. Positive rewards include positive messages home for behaviour that is ‘over and above’. This may take the form a positive note home, a phone call or a face to face chat. Children who demonstrate the schools’ rules will be acknowledged with various rewards and recognition of achievement across the federation which may include stickers, Headteachers Awards and public certificates in assemblies.
