The Federation’s behaviour principles are designed to create a caring and safe environment where children can flourish. The behaviour habits instilled will contribute to a child’s well-being and achievement in secondary school and beyond.​

The Principles:

• Every child understands they, and those around them, have the right to feel safe, valued and respected, and learn free from the disruption of others
• All pupils, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination
• Staff and volunteers set an excellent example to pupils at all times
• Rewards, consequences and reasonable force are used consistently by staff, and in line with the behaviour policy
• The behaviour policy is understood by pupils and staff 
• Pupils are helped to understand and take responsibility for their actions
• Families are involved in the resolution of behaviour incidents in order to foster good relationships between school and the pupil's home life
• The behaviour policy makes clear that violence or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated in any circumstances
• The behaviour policy explains that exclusions will only be used as a last resort, and outlines the processes involved in the use of permanent exclusions and fixed-term suspensions
