The Glemsford Scales

At Glemsford Primary Academy we have high expectations for behaviour in the form of The Glemsford Scales. These balance rights with responsibilities while thinking of ourselves and thinking of others. Our high expectations are modelled by all adults in our school at all times. Expand the Glemsford Scales below to view our expectations.

The Glemsford Scales

At Glemsford Primary Academy…

You have the right to:		You have a responsibility to:
Be yourself		Tolerate differences in others
Express yourself freely		Respect others’ beliefs and feelings
Be treated with kindness		Be kind to others
Learn as much as you can		Allow others to learn
Say when you need help		Help and support others in need
Be positive and confident		Provide encouragement to others

In addition to modelling good behaviour and exemplifying the Glemsford Scales, as responsible adults we try at all times to:

• encourage good behaviour and correct poor choices of behaviour;
• make all pupils aware that if they do not abide by the Glemsford Scales, there will always be consequences;
• acknowledge and reward positive behaviour wherever and whenever we see it;
• pre-empt negative attitudes and unwanted behaviour by maintaining a positive and encouraging environment
• in which all pupils and adults feel included and valued.

Further details of our expectations, rewards and sanctions can be found in the attached Behaviour & Relationships Policy.
