Expectations

High Expectations

At Inglehurst Junior School, we have high expectations for the behaviour, attitudes, and learning of all our pupils. We believe every child has the right to learn in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment and the responsibility to contribute positively to our school community.

 

Our three school rules are at the heart of this:

​​​

School Rules-3-Just Rules.png

  • ​Respectful – treating others, ourselves, and our environment with kindness and care

  • Responsible – making good choices, owning our actions, and supporting others to do the same

  • Ready to Learn – coming to lessons prepared, focused, and eager to take on new challenges

​

These rules are underpinned by our REACH values: Resilience, Empathy, Aspiration, Curiosity, and Honesty. Together, they shape the way we behave, learn, and grow – in school and beyond.

​

Parents and carers are encouraged to support these expectations and values at home, so that children experience a consistent approach between school and family life.​

​Behaviour Support

There are clear guidelines within our Behaviour Policy for addressing situations where expectations are not met. Our Behaviour & Learning Mentors works with children to help them recognise, understand, and act on the importance of living out our rules and REACH values.

​

Trackit Lights

Outstanding behaviour and continued respect for others is rewarded, celebrated, and tracked through Trackit Lights. This tool is displayed on every classroom’s interactive whiteboard, allowing teachers to quickly log positive and negative behaviours in a motivating and engaging way.

​

Positive behaviours such as hard work, good manners, kindness, politeness, and perseverance earn green points.

​

As pupils accumulate points, they reach special milestones where they are recognised and rewarded:

Milestone Rewards:

  • 500 points – Bronze Award: Bronze arrow badge for lanyards, a homework pass, and a bouncy ball.

  • 1000 points – Silver Award: Silver arrow badge, an extra break voucher, and an Inglehurst branded pencil.

  • 1500 points – Gold Award: Gold arrow badge, a class activity voucher, and an Inglehurst Junior School branded pencil case.

  • 2000 points – Diamond Award: Diamond star badge, hot chocolate with the Headteacher, and an Inglehurst branded water bottle.

  • 2500 points – Rainbow Award: Rainbow shield badge and an exclusive Inglehurst Varsity Jacket (with “LEGEND” embroidered on the back), which pupils are permitted to wear as part of their school uniform.​

​Restorative Approach

When behaviour falls short, we take a restorative approach. This whole-school method builds a harmonious learning environment where pupils develop the skills to self-regulate and resolve conflicts respectfully.

​

Our restorative practice is built on four principles:

​

Restorative approaches are based on four key features:

  • RESPECT: listening to and valuing others

  • RESPONSIBILITY: owning actions and their impact

  • REPAIR: finding solutions and making amends

  • RE-INTEGRATION: ensuring pupils feel supported to learn and grow as part of our community
