Choosing our new Burford Primary School Rules
The School Council got together over a number of occasions to work on a new set of school rules that are easy to remember both in the classroom and at play. They decided that rules that begin with "Be ..." are better than "Don't ..." and "Always ..." Once they'd decided this, they looked through a large number of possible "Be..." rules before coming to a unanimous decision that they wanted 3 rules only and they needed to be in this order: "Be Safe", "Be Ready" and "Be Respectful".
Then they worked out on their poster design to display in every classroom and in shared areas around school.
In preparation for launching the new school rules to the whole school community, the children practised their actions.
The school council were now ready to launch the new rules to everyone.
