Behaviour

At Stella Maris we place great emphasis on good behaviour, and we believe that it should be founded on self-discipline and high self-esteem. According to our school Behaviour Policy, our aims in this area are:

• To ensure that the behaviour of the children makes a positive contribution to their education, both academically and morally
• To prevent the misbehaviour of some children adversely affecting the happiness or education of others
• To provide a safe and secure environment at school for all members of the school community.

To support these aims we have a system of rewards for good behaviour – children who demonstrate good learning behaviour as well as remembering our values of Love, Care, Share, Trust AND Respect are awarded house points and these result in merit certificates. These and other awards are regularly distributed at Friday assemblies.
