Behaviour and Attitudes

Behaviour and Attitudes Lead – Mr Hutton

Behaviour at Golborne Community Primary School – An outstanding improvement!

We wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate the fantastic improvements which have taken place in school, with the children’s behaviour across school. The consistent approach to our Positive Discipline Policy helps our children to learn in a safe, helpful, friendly environment. Positive behaviour is encouraged at all times and the full support of parents/carers has helped with our improvements. Children are rewarded for displaying outstanding behaviour and this is acknowledged by all staff in the school. 

All staff are fully trained in effective positive behaviour management and de-escalation strategies – all staff have received high-quality CPD from Jason Bangbala and Safe Teach UK.

What is the Impact?

Improvements have been made over time, including a reduction in the number of exclusions, incidents of bullying and racial incidents.

Please remember that if you do have any concerns regarding your child’s behaviour in school please see your child’s class teacher at the end of the school day or make an appointment to see them via the school office.

As you can see we have a ‘zero-tolerance’ towards extreme behaviour as every child has the right to a safe and high quality education.

Thank you for your continued support.

Behaviour and Attitudes are ‘Outstanding’!

‘Pupils’ behaviour is excellent throughout all year groups. Low-level disruption is very rare. This means that lessons are focused solely on learning. Pupils work hard and persevere when they find things challenging. They are very motivated to learn and be the best that they can be.’ (Ofsted – February 2023)

‘Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary at all times of the day. They are polite, kind, patient and respectful. They appreciate being able to talk to staff if anything worries them. Pupils know that staff will do their best to help them. This makes them feel safe.’ (Ofsted – February 2023) 

‘High behavioural expectations are modelled by staff and shared with the children. On interview all children across both key stages shared their positive thoughts on the high level of good behaviour and the consistent support provided by all staff to ensure that they feel safe to learn. It is clear, that all staff have a belief that all children can achieve and should thrive in a ‘safe environment’. (External Review – July 2025)
