Just want to see what happens in other schools re behaviour policies.
We have quite a few very difficult children in school - 2 form entry primary. We have a long history of accepting children who have been excluded from other schools and we usually manage them pretty well.
However, we seem to have more than ever and the place is just bonkers! It feels like they're running the joint. We have a new behaviour policy which, quite frankly, hasn't helped at all and has made matters worse. If a child physically hurts an adult deliberately or swears it's 3 strikes and then exclusion. (Same for disrupting learning or attacking other children). Except it's not happening and we are so pissed off! I have a child in my class who continually attacks anyone without provocation and swears continually - very vitriolic, fucking bitch/cunt etc. She's Year R! All the staff have bruises from her (and another child in my class), and yet they are still in school. SM refuse to acknowledge that people are being hurt everyday, not just in Year R, but throughout the school. What's the point of a policy you don't apply and what's the point of not backing up and supporting your staff??????
