The Traffic Light System

  1. The vast majority of children in our school will remain on green throughout their schooling. Children will be rewarded as outlined previously.

2.If a child then chooses the wrong behaviour they will:

  • Be given two verbal warnings
  • Moved onto amber which means they lose the right to earn 5 minutes of golden time and a playtime
  • Moved onto red which means they will be removed to a different class for the rest of that morning or afternoon session with work, lose the playtime and lose the opportunity to earn golden time. Mrs Tate will be informed and a written record will be kept.

3.Any child who is removed from their class twice in any week will be sent to Mrs Tate, who will obviously have words and write and/or telephone the parents.

4.A child who is moved onto red 4 times during a two week period could be excluded to the Lilac Room Behaviour base for a period of time.

5.Any child being put on red and so removed after 11.30 am will remain in the partner class for the rest of the afternoon and miss the playtime. Likewise any child being put on red after 3.00pm will begin the following day in the partner class and miss the playtime.
