Orchard Community Primary School
Code of Conduct
All members of our school community deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
Insults, disrespect and other hurtful acts disrupt the learning, teaching and ethos of our school community.
We wish to maintain a learning environment where a difference of opinion or conflict can be addressed in a civil and respectful way.
Aggressive behaviour of any kind – physical or verbal – is irresponsible and unacceptable as a way of interacting with others.
Where behaviour and actions are unacceptable within this context, clear support and guidelines from the governing body and the Local Authority will be used with recourse to legal and police advice, as appropriate. It is a responsibility that we welcome as a school to support our children, families and staff in this way.
Managing Aggressive Behaviour from Parents and Visitors Policy
Statement of principles
The governing body of Orchard Primary School encourages close links with parents and the community. It believes that pupils benefit when the relationship between home and school is a positive one.
The vast majority of parents, carers and others visiting our school are keen to work with us and are supportive of the school. However, on the rare occasions when a negative attitude towards the school is expressed, this can result in aggression, verbal and or physical abuse towards members of school staff or the wider school community.
