A = A QUIET WORD – used when somebody ‘gets carried away’.  This involves telling pupils what is not acceptable without ‘telling them off’.

Adults will:

1. Listen if a learner wants to explain.

2. Remain quiet and calm. 

3. Be crystal clear about expectations

4. Leave learners with a smile.

B = 2 MINUTE REFLECTION AND APOLOGY.  This is used when expectations / or school rules have been made clear, but the learner decides not to follow them.  It is deliberate/ pre-meditated misbehaviour.  It becomes 5 minutes ONLY if the pupil is un- cooperative or cheeky etc. 

Adults will explain what was unacceptable and the learner will have a 2-minute time-out accompanied by the staff member quietly.  The learner will be asked to apologize and reflect on what they did, accept that they were wrong, show respect and take responsibility.  At the end of the reflection period the adult will end the period positively with a thank you.

If the learner refuses to co-operate and show the adult respect, then the adult will give them a warning.  If you don’t do it now, it will be 5 minutes.

If the learner still refuses, then the reflection period becomes 5 minutes.

C= THIS IS RED LINE BEHAVIOUR e.g., bullying, racism, violence, swearing, outright defiance (e.g., refusing 5 minutes reflection with an adult).  

The learner is sent to a senior teacher or class teacher . Following discussion and reflection time with the senior teacher the learner will return to the lunchtime adult, reflect for 2 minutes and apologise. (This would happen at the next break if the problem occurred at the end of break)

The adults on duty deal with playtime and lunchtime problems, at playtime and lunchtime.
