Behaviour, Exclusions & Anti-Bullying Policy 2025-2026 (https://9b4b88af-d3a6-4b2c-b32b-b05157917781.usrfiles.com/ugd/9b4b88_56673e13e6424df5b5f2bb9d5e998a4b.pdf)
Zones of Regulation Page(https://www.fountainsprimaryschool.co.uk/zones-of-regulation)
The rationale of our school behaviour, exclusions and anti-bullying policy is to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect. We believe that good behaviour should be recognised and rewarded. Positive behaviour is any behaviour which encourages and maintains the good order and conduct of our school. Positive behaviour ensures children feel safe, secure and welcome as a member of our school and wider community. We aim to encourage children to develop their self management skills which will enable them to play a full part in school life and become responsible citizens in the future.
