At St. Joseph & St. Bede we are committed to create a positive climate within the school based on a sense of community and shared values. Discipline is based upon good relationships and mutual respect. Good behaviour means that children are ready to learn.
We want our learners to be ready to learn, to be respectful of each other and to feel safe. Our Readiness to learn overview echoes our core values with a heavy emphasis on respectful behaviour.
This supports our Mission Statement:
We have discussed with our children what these words mean, how they can use these words to help them in school and what their behaviour may look like when they are ready, respectful and safe. This is what they think:
· We are READY to learn – we arrive at school on time, we have our equipment ready and we show that we are listening
· We are RESPECTFUL – we listen when others speak and we respect the property of our friends and the school.
· We are SAFE – we move around school in a safe manner, we follow instructions to keep ourselves safe on school trips, we use equipment safely and we stay safe online.
We also hold weekly hot chocolate sessions throughout the year to celebrate outstanding behaviour.
We had a lovely morning with the #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI winners this week. We missed our EYFS friends but they were having great fun @eurekamuseum. The children spoke with such passion about all the things they enjoy in school.
The fabulous faces of the #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI gangs for the last two weeks. Very well deserved and rightly proud of the effort they have been putting in. #sjsbPSHE #sjsbSMSC
What a fabulous #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI this morning. We spoke about the things we were proud of and what we might like to change. A group who were rightly proud of themselves this week. #sjsbCLM #sjsbSMSC
On Friday last week we had a lovely #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI what a busy week they had all had. We chatted about our favourite subjects and not one subject was missed out. The only thing they could think of to improve was to stay in school longer. #sjsbSMSC #sjsbPSHE
Another superb morning spent with pupils who go over and above. Well done everyone! #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI #sjsbSMSC
What a lovely morning spent with our hot chocolate winners. We chatted about how hard they have been trying and what they love about school. One thing to be made better: staying here for high school 🥰. #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI #sjsbCLM
Even Ralph tried to get in on #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI this morning. We had a fantastic chat about all the things they are proud of. The only change they could think of is to stay in school longer 🥰 #sjsbSMSC #sjsbCLM #sjsb
Had a double #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI this morning to catch up from last week. What a fantastic bunch of fabulous people! They could not stop talking about the things they enjoy and are proud of at school. They spoke with affection of how worship makes them feel. #sjsbCLM #sjsbWORSHIP
We enjoyed dancing in celebration during our Friday Good News Assembly this morning. We also enjoyed our #sjsbHOTCHOCFRI chatting about our week and what we enjoy about school. ‘I am proud that our lessons are enjoyable and challenging’ was one quote.
