Positive Behaviour

Moore House operates a levels system to reward positive behaviour. Levels are given for each lesson and pupils are awarded certificates and pocket money bonuses for effort made in school. The pupil with the highest number of certificates each half term can choose between receiving a gift voucher and having an individual outing with a member of staff. In addition, special activities and outings are offered to young people achieving and maintaining good levels on a weekly basis. Tokens are awarded for those attaining the highest level, and these can be redeemed for books, or computer or sports equipment At each weekly assembly, a nominated Pupil of the Week receives a certificate and voucher.

Young people are encouraged to take responsibility for their behaviour and their learning, and are helped to develop personal and social skills that will enable them to function well in society.

The school has strong links with the local community through joint working with the Careers Service, local colleges and work experience placements.

Staff respect young people and encourage them to develop respect for themselves and for others. Good relationships between staff and young people form the foundation for promoting positive behaviour and helping to develop individual responsibility.
