We try to establish a good working atmosphere at Oakwood Junior School. Children will not learn effectively if they are misbehaving and they may affect the learning of others in their class. We have rules which are easily understood by all pupils. Many of these rules are concerned with children's safety. lf your child breaks these rules he/she will be expected to make amends in an appropriate manner. lf there is a cause for concern about a child's behaviour, this will first be dealt with by staff in school. If there are persistent difficulties, parents will be contacted so that we can try and reach a joint approach to the problem. Persistent aggressive, disruptive or disobedient behaviour may result in exclusion from school. We cannot guarantee the safety of pupils who refuse to obey instructions from the adults who have responsibility.

Quite simply we expect your child to behave with courtesy and respect for other people at all times. We try to encourage them to be polite to all adults and children in the school, to be honest, truthful and hard working and to take care of our school building and equipment.

The great majority of our pupils are extremely well behaved and a credit to their families. They are able to earn stickers and certificates as a reward for good behaviour.
