What this policy needs to do
Maintained schools
Your school's behaviour policy must set out measures which aim to regulate pupils' conduct and:
- Encourage good behaviour and respect for others
- Secure an acceptable standard of behaviour of pupils
- Promote, among pupils, self-discipline and proper regard for authority
- Prevent all forms of bullying (including cyber-bullying, prejudice-based and discriminatory bullying)
- Ensure that pupils complete any tasks reasonably assigned to them in connection with their education
This is explained on pages 7 and 8 of the behaviour guidance from the Department for Education (DfE).
