Positive Behaviour

Pupils behave well, and they take pride in being positive role models to others. For example, older pupils are proud to be chosen to support younger pupils as ‘playground mentors’.

Ofsted Report, 2023

Macaulay is a church school, wherein we strive to nurture a family atmosphere. At the very heart of all we do, are our shared Christian values.

These values help build an enabling environment, foster positive relationships and guide us towards our goals. They are:

Forgiveness

Courage

Generosity

Compassion

Wisdom

Friendship

Service

Creativity

Peace

Trust

Thankfulness

Justice

We recognise that every child has the right to learn and develop to the best of their ability in a safe, supportive environment, and that they are entitled to trust that this right is respected by the whole school community.

The value of forgiveness colours the way in which conduct is managed to guarantee exemplary behaviour and caring relationships.

SIAMS, July 2014  

We believe in positive reinforcement, praise and encouragement, and recognise that by focusing on positive behaviour, we marginalise that which is unacceptable. Doing the right thing then becomes the more natural way to behave.
