Rule of Law

Rule of Law- “Develop an appreciation that living under the rule of law protects individuals and is essential for their wellbeing and safety.”

Our school vision and values are clearly defined in the Promoting Positive Behaviour policy which is regularly shared and amended with input from pupils, parents and governors. We aim to. Staff ensure that children understand their own and others’ behaviour and its consequences. Pupil’s learn to distinguish right from wrong through discussions and the modelling of positive behaviour and by the implementation of the Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School “Promoting Positive Behavior Policy and Pupil Well-being Charter”. These encourage pupils to be kind and helpful, listen carefully, work hard, look after things, be honest and be gentle.  Pupils who are observed putting these behaviours into practice are rewarded and celebrated through House points and and positive postcards. Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves, and the consequences when laws are broken.
