Kingslea Primary School is a happy and warm school. Children are encouraged to show kindness and respect to one another. This can be seen day to day with children helping each other in classrooms and corridors, children holding doors open for each other, the way children play together and the general atmosphere across the school. As soon as you walk into our school you will realise what a happy and supportive we work in.  

Through assemblies, class lessons, the formal and informal curriculum, our Core 4 and relationships between all members of our community we constantly reinforce our shared values. We emphasise  the positives and go out of our way to model expectations. From the children’s very first day in Reception we are clear about how we support and look after each other.

We have numerous ways of rewarding excellent attitudes and behaviours including class rewards, house points and stickers. Mr.Conway’s and Mrs Paynes’ office has a constant flow of visitors bringing them work to show or notes from the teachers to praise children for their work, effort and attitudes. 

Occasionally we may have an incident where a child has let themselves down and fallen short of our expectations. If this is the case the incident is recorded and sanctions are taken. (See behaviour policy for more detail)

As a school we take bullying and its impact seriously. Pupils and parents should be assured that known incidents of bullying will be responded to.

Bullying will not be tolerated. The school will seek ways to counter the effects of bullying that may occur within school or in the local community. The ethos of our school fosters high expectations of outstanding behaviour and we will consistently challenge any behaviour that falls below this

At Kingslea Primary School staff and pupils work together to create a happy and safe environment for all to work in. 

If you think you are being bullied remember to: 

•TELL US - You  will  be  listened  to,  you  will  be believed and  we  will  do something about it.  We  might  need to  tell  someone else but we will tell  you  what  we  are going to do first. 

•TELL  the  person who is bullying you that you know they are a  bully  and  that you are going to tell someone.

Advice for Pupils

• Don’t ignore someone being bullied
• Try to be there for the bullied person
• Tell someone about it – they might be able to help

If you are bullying someone

• It’s not too late to stop bullying
• Ask yourself why you’re behaving that way. Do you really want to hurt or upset people?
