Following and living school life by the Coleshill Heath ‘Code of Conduct’ develops positive, life long values. It promotes and rewards good behaviour and manages and sanctions unacceptable behaviours. The Coleshill Heath ‘Code of Conduct’ rewards individuals and ‘teams’. Each child on entry to the school, is put into a ‘Code team’ (Confidence, Courage, Kindness or Honesty) each reflecting the core values of the school. Children are expected to demonstrate all these values.
The school is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. Our rules are concise, simple and clear so every child and adult can remember them and have them at the forefront of their minds. It echoes our core values: BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE SAFE.
