St Paul’s Catholic Primary School Behaviour Principles Written Statement
Section 88(2) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 requires the governing body to:
- make, and from time to time review, a written statement of general principles to guide the headteacher in determining measures to promote good behaviour and discipline amongst pupils; and
- notify the head teacher and give him or her related guidance if the governing body wants the school’s behaviour policy to include particular measures or address particular issues.
This statement is to be read in conjunction with the school behaviour policy and home school agreement which are reviewed and approved annually by the Academy Council.
