Our Golden Values

Philosophy

Sarum Hall believes that in order to enable effective teaching and learning to take place, good behaviour in all aspects of school life is paramount. This applies to all staff and pupils at the school, including those in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Aims

• To promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect by the whole school community which includes girls, parents, teachers, teaching & learning assistants, kitchen staff, facilities staff, office staff, governors and clubs leaders, based on a sense of community and shared values.
• To prevent bullying.
• To apply positive policies and incentives to create a caring, family atmosphere in which teaching and learning can take place in a safe and happy environment.
• To teach, through the school curriculum, values and attitudes, as well as knowledge and skills. These will promote responsible behaviour, encourage self-discipline and motivate girls to have respect for themselves, for other people and for property.
• To encourage good behaviour by providing a range of rewards for girls of all ages and abilities.
• To make clear to girls the distinction between minor and more serious misbehaviour and the range of sanctions that will follow.
• To treat problems when they occur in a caring and sympathetic manner with the aim of achieving an improvement in behaviour.
• To encourage consistency and fairness in response to both positive and negative behaviour.
