St Matthew’s Church

From the church and feedback for year 3

On behalf of the volunteers who led yesterday’s Experience Easter for the children, I would like to say what a pleasure it was for all of us. We hope they enjoyed the sessions as much as we did!

The behaviour was exemplary and the children’s enthusiasm was so encouraging; you, and their parents, must be very proud of them.

I should be very grateful if you would kindly pass on our thanks to Mr Rawson, the class teachers, support staff and, most of all, the children; we hope to see them again soon. I’m sure you will agree that such collaboration benefits both Church and school communities and I would like to thank you for your continued support too.

With our very best wishes, Louise

Behaviour Refresh

Each term we evaluate behaviour in our school, and as we are half way we want to remind all parents and pupils about the expectations for behaviour, the rewards and sanctions. This term we want to focus on respect — this is very true when a child becomes dysregulated and the language or actions they use. However, it is also important to remind parents about their interaction with the school. School staff do not tolerate any abusive behaviour.
Our Full Policy can be found here
Key principles
We ask all children to be-

  • Ready
  • Respectful
  • Safe

Our school rules encapsulate these key principles of being ready for learning, respectful to everyone and staying safe at all times
Our Main School Rules (Golden Rules)

  • We listen to and follow all adult instructions (safe, ready and respectful)
  • We treat others with respect and understanding (respectful)
  • We listen when others are speaking and to others points of view (ready and respectful)
  • We do not hurt others through words or actions (respectful and safe)
  • We take responsibility for our own actions and do not blame others (ready and respectful)

Summary of Behaviour Management at Donnington Wood
Our behaviour policy is built on creating a happy, secure and safe environment in which children learn to show mutual respect and understanding throughout the school day.
Core Expectations

  • All pupils are expected to follow a shared set of Whole School Rules, including listening to adults, treating others with respect, and not hurting others with words or actions.
  • Pupils are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for managing their own behaviour.

Approach to Behaviour Management

  • Staff act as positive role models, treating every child with dignity. Adults do not shout, humiliate, embarrass, or label children. Instead, concerns are addressed calmly and privately. We use the animals of regulation to label the emotion: Animals of Regulation – Script by Charissa Fry.
  • Positive behaviour is actively rewarded to reinforce good choices.
  • Inappropriate behaviour is dealt with quickly and consistently, ensuring pupils understand the impact of their actions.

Behaviours That Will Not Be Tolerated
The school has a zero‑tolerance approach to:

  • Refusal to follow reasonable instructions
  • Dishonesty or stealing
  • Bullying of any kind, including cyberbullying
  • Racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other harassment
  • Verbal or physical aggression
  • Abusive or foul language
  • Damage to property (as part of respect)

Respect During Dysregulation
When a child becomes dysregulated, respect remains a core expectation. Staff support pupils to regulate, recover and reflect — but harmful language or actions, such as vandalism, are still addressed through the behaviour system.
Expectations for Parents and Carers
The policy also makes it clear that all members of the school community — including staff — have the right to work without fear of verbal or physical aggression.
This means:

  • Staff must be treated with respect at all times.
  • Abusive, aggressive or intimidating behaviour from adults will not be tolerated.

A strong, respectful partnership between home and school helps children feel safe and supported, especially when learning to manage their emotions.
Our Home school Agreement also sets out expectations.
The full policy also has great strategies for you to use at home to support with behaviour.
We are trailing the use of Arbor to inform you of reflection and sanction. This will help you support the schools behaviour at home, by being informed about when reflections are given.
