Achievement for all
Governors Written Statement of Behaviour Principles
Rationale
Under the Education and Inspection Act, 2006, the governing body is charged with the duty to set the framework of the school’s policy by providing a written statement of general principles relating to behaviour and discipline, taking into account the needs of all pupils.
The purpose of this statement is to give guidance to the Head Teacher in drawing up the Behaviour and Exclusion Policy by stating the principles which governors expect to be followed.
The policy aims to underpin the governors’ duty of care to pupils and employees; promote teaching and learning; high standards of progress and attainment and preserve the reputation of the school.
This statement and the Behaviour and Exclusion Policy will be reviewed on a three-yearly basis, unless changes at national or local level necessitate an exceptional review. This statement is informed by Washingwell’s Vision and Values.
Key Principles

As governors, we wish to acknowledge and encourage good work and good behaviour of both adults and children and will support the school in achieving this aim. We also aim to ensure pupils and adults who work at Washingwell School are as safe as possible.
We aim to promote this through our whole school Vision and Values and key principles that:
