We have a duty under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to have in place a behaviour policy that is consistent throughout the school. At Heathlands Primary Academy and Pre-school we believe that we promote good behaviour by creating a happy, caring school environment where everyone feels valued, respected, secure and free from all forms of anti-social behaviour. We encourage pupils to achieve in a learning environment where self-discipline is promoted and good behaviour is the norm. We believe pupils will achieve their full potential in a happy, stimulating and ordered school environment.
Rewards and Incentives
Every Friday the school holds a Celebration Assembly. Certificates are awarded to one child in each class who has followed our school values of Respect, Excellence and Integrity. The child selected also attends afternoon tea with a member of SLT on a Friday afternoon.
A certificate is also awarded to one child per class for wonderful learning, this can be a child who has improved in an area of their learning, or has produced exceptional work. Parents/carers are invited to attend our assembly and celebrate with their children (Covid restrictions permitting).
Proud cards can be given to any child by any member of staff, they are given for a wide variety of reasons linked to our values of Excellence, Integrity and Respect.
These are generally given by the staff for good work and behaviour (linked to our values). We have 4 houses, named after elements.

Anti Bullying
Our anti bullying champion in school is Mrs. Walpole.
If you are concerned that your child is being bullied please contact the class teacher in the first instance and then Mrs. Walpole if you don't feel your concerns are addressed. Mrs. Walpole and class teachers will liaise with Senior Leaders and the pastoral care team.
If you need help or advice about bullying there are helplines and websites that can provide you with information and support:
