At The Vineyard School, we have high expectations of our children. Through the consistent and fair implementation of this policy, we aim to support all pupils to develop the beliefs, attitudes and skills necessary to be successful, happy and empowered adults. The overarching intention of this policy is to create a calm, safe and purposeful environment, where positive behaviour choices are expected and enabled, but also where negative behaviours are quickly noticed and resolved and, where appropriate, restoration is facilitated.

We strive to create an environment that encourages and enables positive choices to be made, whilst also being very clear that some choices and behaviours are unacceptable. We use the language of 'expected' and 'unexpected' behaviour and these posters are displayed around the school to reinforce their understanding.
