THE CODE OF CONDUCT. 1. At The Cambridge Primary School, we are very proud and fortunate to have a dedicated and supportive school community. The staff, governors, parents and carers all recognise that the education of our children is a partnership between us and we work together for their benefit. 2. We expect our school community to respect our school ethos, keep our school tidy, set a good example of their own behaviour both on school premises and when accompanying classes on school visits. 3. In addition, we also expect our parents, carers and visitors to keep our children safe by adhering to the school’s request to park and act in a safe manner outside the school gates during morning and afternoon collections. 4. As a partnership we are all aware of the importance of good working relationships and all recognise the importance of these relationships to equip our children with the necessary skills for their education. For these reasons we will continue to welcome and encourage parents and carers to participate fully in the life of our school. 5. The purpose of this code of conduct is to provide the expectations around the conduct of all parents, carers and visitors connected to our school. This, in turn, supports our work to help children establish a respectful and tolerant attitude. 6. We are committed to resolving difficulties in a constructive manner, through an open and positive dialogue. However, we understand that everyday misunderstandings can cause frustrations and have a negative impact on our relationships. Where issues arise or misconceptions take place, please contact your child’s teacher or member of the Senior Leadership Team, who will be available to meet with you and go through the issue and hopefully resolve it. Where issues remain unresolved, please follow the school’s complaints procedure. This is available on the school website or a copy can be requested from the school office. This code aims to clarify the types of behaviour that will not be tolerated and seeks parental agreement to these expectations. The code of conduct also sets out the actions the school can take should this code be ignored or where breaches occur. • Disruptive behaviour which interferes or threatens to interfere with any of the school’s normal operation or activities anywhere on the school premises. • Any inappropriate behaviour on the school premises, which undermines our values of respect, teamwork, honesty, happiness, excellence and responsibility. • Using loud or offensive language or displaying temper. • Threatening in any way, a member of staff, visitor, fellow parent/carer or child. • Damaging or destroying school property. • Sending abusive or threatening emails or text/voicemail/phone messages or other written communications (including social media) to anyone within the school community. • Defamatory, offensive or derogatory comments regarding the school or any of the pupils/parents/staff/governors at the school on the internet e.g. on Facebook or other social media or general media sites. • The use of physical, verbal or written aggression towards another adult or child. This includes physical punishment of your own child on school premises. • Approaching someone else’s child in order to discuss or chastise them because of the actions of this child towards your own child. (An approach to a child may be seen to be an assault on that child and may have legal consequences.) • Smoking, taking illegal drugs or the consumption of alcohol on school premises. (Alcohol may only be consumed during authorised events). • Dogs being brought on to the school premises without prior consent from the Senior Leadership Team (other than guide dogs). • Taking photographs with phones or other devices on school premises without permission from the school. Should any of the above occur on school premises or in connection with school, the school may feel it is necessary to take action by contacting the appropriate authorities or consider banning the offending adult from entering the school premises.
