"Pupils’ conduct and attitudes are excellent. They show great respect for each other, their teachers and their school. Pupils are polite, respectful and readily take on additional responsibilities with maturity and confidence. Pupils feel very safe at school and know how to keep themselves safe."  (Ofsted 2014)   

Behaviour
Behaviour at Park Street is led by our SENDCo and Behaviour lead, Mr A Fidment.  He is the school's Assistant Headteacher and is one of our Year 6 teachers also.  Mr Fidment is a Specialist Leader in Education and supports and advises other schools on their behaviour policies and procedures.  Mr Fidment is also trained to DSL standard and runs Early Help Assessments to support families with SEND and behavioural needs.

Golden Rules at Wombwell Park Street:
Behaviour at Wombwell Park Street Primary School is good.  We value our positive relationships between staff, children and parents.  Staff have very high expectations of the children and the staff themselves model good behaviour towards each other (good relationships, speaking to each other appropriately and having fun with each other)!

Our Behaviour Policy centres on the following six Golden Rules, which encompass all types of behaviours:
  • Do be kind and helpful
  • Do be honest
  • Do work hard
  • Do be gentle
  • Do look after property
  • Do listen to people

The school has a different Golden Rule focus each week, and expectations around these are discussed in Monday morning assemblies.  Golden Book assemblies on a Friday then promote the amazing children who have shone out that week, for showing excellent skills in these areas.  Please find weekly updates below of our incredible Golden Book children!

​Each classroom has an 'Incredible Us' target board, where there is a regularly changed class target and a celebration board of those children who have met the class teacher's expectations.  Each classroom has a consistent 'Regulation Station' also, designed to support individuals who need to regulate.  There are consistent 'Regulation Stations' on the corridors also, for staff to support children outside of the classroom, if needed.  Each child, as part of transition, makes a hand identifying staff in school that they can seek out to talk to, if needed and these are staff that make them feel safe.  These are displayed on each door, for all staff to use and be aware of.  Certain Teaching Assistants are Behaviour Mentors, which helps support individuals through school in times of crisis or as a 'change of face', for example.  Regular assemblies discuss the school's high expectations and promote positive relationships.

Sanctions are given in school and are monitored.  Sanctions may be: missed playtimes / lunch times; a phone call home; speaking to another member of staff eg SLT; suspension, for example.

'Zero Tolerance' regarding Bullying:
Wombwell Park Street Primary has a zero tolerance regarding bullying and members of our Senior Leadership Team always investigate any allegations thoroughly and rigorously.  We aim to create a friendly and fun loving atmosphere, where children feel comfortable.  Our children feel confident to speak to members of staff, including our PSA, Mrs C Hitchens.  We have a number of strategies to support children in the event of any potential allegations of bullying: Mrs Fitchett in school runs 'Art Therapy' sessions each Wednesday to support children, Mrs Hitchens (PSA) has extensive training in safeguarding and could support children and we also run an 'Incredible Me' programme which supports children's mental health and wellbeing and underpins the school's Behaviour Policy,

How do we celebrate good behaviour in our school?
We celebrate the children's positive attitudes and behaviour in school in a variety of ways!  For example:
Golden Book each Friday in assembly; 'Always' children celebrated each term - 3 per class; 'Always' Club on a Friday afternoon with Mrs Longden; stickers and stamps; Team Points and termly winners; 'Always Chairs' in assembly (model child on a chair each assembly); 'Awesome Assembly Assets' - three children chosen for good behaviour in each assembly;  half termly 'Table of Honour' for children who behave well for our SMSAs; termly Attendance awards; general certificates for good work and effort.

We are committed to developing 'Young Leaders' within school, to promote and develop positive behaviour further.  This will complement our other behaviour strategies within school and 'Jobs' which children already do (eg Playground Leaders, Reading Leaders, Eco-Reps, Digital leaders etc).

We are a happy school and we all work together as a TEAM; we thoroughly believe that 'Together, Everyone, Achieves. More'!  We have a school full of 'Always' children!  These amazing adults and children are celebrated on our entrance display - feel free to add to it with child / adult celebration cards!

Behaviour Policy 2023

Anti-Bullying Policy 2023

"Leaders strongly promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Through topic work, religious education lessons and assemblies, pupils are taught to appreciate and respect those from different backgrounds and with different beliefs. As a result, pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated and records checked show that there have been no reported racial incidents in the last few years."  (Ofsted 2014)
