At Bunscoill Rhumsaa, we uphold high standards of behaviour, which are integral to creating a positive and nurturing learning environment. Our commitment to fostering respectful and supportive relationships among pupils, staff, and the wider community is reflected in the consistent positive feedback we receive regarding our pupils’ conduct. We believe that good behaviour is essential for effective learning and personal development, and we strive to cultivate an atmosphere where every pupil feels safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive.
To support our high expectations, we have established a simple and clear behaviour policy that outlines the standards we expect from all members of our school community. This policy is designed to be transparent and accessible, ensuring that pupils, parents, and staff understand the behaviour expectations and the rationale behind them. Our approach emphasises the importance of positive reinforcement, where good behaviour is recognised and celebrated, fostering a culture of mutual respect and cooperation.
In addition to setting clear expectations, we are dedicated to providing the necessary support to help our pupils develop good behaviour habits. Our staff are trained to implement strategies that promote positive behaviour and to address any challenges that may arise. We believe in a proactive approach, where teachers model appropriate behaviours and engage pupils in discussions about the values of respect, kindness, and responsibility. This not only helps pupils understand the importance of their actions but also empowers them to take ownership of their behaviour and contribute positively to the school community.
We also recognise the role of parents and guardians in reinforcing these values at home. By working collaboratively with families, we aim to create a consistent approach to behaviour that extends beyond the school gates. We encourage open communication and invite parents to be actively involved in our initiatives, ensuring that we are all aligned in our efforts to support our pupils in developing the skills and attitudes necessary for success.
You can find our behaviour policy in the policies section of our website, where we detail our commitment to creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment that enables all pupils to learn and grow to their full potential. Together, we are building a community where positive relationships and exemplary behaviour are at the heart of everything we do at Bunscoill Rhumsaa.
