Behaviour & Attitudes
At Burnopfield Primary School, we promote a friendly, happy and caring atmosphere within the school. The children are encouraged and taught to develop self-regulation and to show respect for others and their property. The school prides itself on its ethos ‘to inspire, challenge and care’. Within school, the children have rights and a responsibility to adhere to our Golden Rules.
In 2022 Ofsted stated “The school is a calm place where pupils are well behaved. The early years team makes sure that children learn to share and care for one another. Clear behaviour routines are in place across the school. Pupils are very enthusiastic about the behaviour reward system linked to prizes, and they are keen to impress their teachers.”
