9. Behaviour
At Wylde Green, weare tryingto improve children’slearningbehaviour by changingthe vocabulary that weuse with them and
our systems for monitoring behaviour.
Children areasked to makethe right‘choice’ with their behaviour and understand that the consequences are as follows:
Warning.
Move down the ladder ONCE.
Move down again. Once they havemoved 3times, theywill beissued a Yellow Card and will miss theirnext break time
completing work.
Red cards are issued for serious offences such as fighting (includingplay fighting), damaging property and serious disrespect.
Wewill informyouat theend of the day for both positive and negativebehaviour.
