Good to be Green Behaviour Information for Parents/Carers
At St Johns CE(A) Primary School we aim to provide a community in which lifelong learning takes place. We aim to develop our children spiritually, socially, personally and academically. In order to do this good behaviour from all pupils is important
How do we promote good behaviour?
Children are given clear guidelines of the appropriate behaviour and expectations in all areas based on our Golden Values system, School/Class rules and our Good to be Green scheme. The policy is applied before school activities, playtimes, lunchtimes, lesson times, school trips and clubs

Good to be Green in the Foundation Stage
There are three different coloured circles on the wall (green, orange and red)
All children begin each day with their name on a green happy face
If a pupil fails to follow the rules the following hierarchy of sanctions will apply, with the teachers intention to help the child move back up to green
1. Verbal reminder to the class
2. Should a pupil do something unacceptable a verbal warning is given followed by a consequence ‘If the unacceptable behaviour continues then you will have to move your name onto orange
3. pupil puts their name on an orange circle
4. If behaviour continues to be unacceptable another warning and consequence are given ‘If the unacceptable behaviour continues then you will have to move your name onto red
5. Pupil moves their name onto red
6. Inform parents/carers that a red card has been given
Good to be Green in KS1 and KS2
Each child has a pocket on a wall chart that contains three cards (green, yellow, red)
If a pupil fails to follow the rules the following hierarchy of sanctions will apply, with the teachers intention to help the child move back up to green
1. Verbal reminder to the class
2. Should a pupil do something unacceptable a verbal warning is given followed by a consequence ‘If the unacceptable behaviour continues then you will be given a yellow warning card’
3. Yellow warning card given- pupil puts it in the wall chart above their name
4. If behaviour continues to be unacceptable anther warning and consequence are given ‘If the unacceptable behaviour continues then you will be given a yellow warning card’
5. Red card given – – pupil puts it in the wall chart above their name
6. Inform parents/carers that a red card has been given
Children on a red card will be seen by a member of the Leadership team. There will be rarer occasions where a child’s behaviour will take them straight to red with no warnings given (physical fighting and verbal abuse)
Should a child regularly be receiving red cards it may be felt appropriate that the pupil may be added to the special needs register and given an IEP (individual education plan) which details any additional strategy that may be used to encourage the pupil to conform to the school behaviour code. Pupils who regularly get red cards may cause a health and safety risk to all and will be prevented from attending out of school clubs/discos ect
