Introduction
In Kaleidoscope schools we develop children’s character through our Behaviour Curriculum. In order to build character, we define the behaviours and habits that we expect students to demonstrate. We want to support our pupils to grow from school ready children into adults who are polite, respectful, safe, and considerate of others. We believe that as pupils practise these behaviours, over time they become automatic routines that positively shape how they feel about themselves and how other people perceive them. In this way our school has a positive culture which enhances teaching, learning personal/social development and the opportunities we can offer our children. For this Behaviour Curriculum to be effective, it must be applied consistently by all member of staff in all school contexts. Everyone is responsible for modelling and managing behaviour throughout the school at all times.

Teaching the curriculum
The curriculum is taught explicitly during the first two weeks in the autumn term alongside the traditional National Curriculum subjects. Children should learn the content of the curriculum so that they can recall the information and act upon it. At the start of each term, the Behaviour Curriculum is revisited with pupils in assemblies/collective worship and in class. It will continue to be reinforced throughout the year to ensure that should a visit from one of the senior leaders take place, they will see the similar behaviours being carried out across the Trust. As with other curriculum content, this should be taught using explicit teaching based on the ten principles of instruction from Rosenshine including regular quizzing to check and strengthen retention. This links to the Kaleidoscope Approach to Pedagogy. Teachers will also demonstrate these behaviours and ensure pupils have time to practise these (particularly in the first few days of each term). For example, a lining up order should be taught in the classroom but must be reinforced in different locations and times throughout the school day e.g. at lunchtime. It is expected that all pupils will know this content.
Work and a training plan will be put in place including developing a bank of stem sentences and video clips demonstrating the curriculum behaviours Kaleidoscope Schools require to support the teaching of the Behaviour Curriculum. Understanding what a good model looks like is the key to creating long term recall.
Adaptations
While this curriculum is for all pupils it will be applied differently in different year groups depending on pupils’ ages and may be applied differently depending on individual pupils’ SEND needs. Any adjustments will be reasonable and detailed within specific individual plans using the Team Teach PHP template. Sensitivity must be applied at all times when teaching the curriculum.

Our routines:
Our staff use a silent signaller to gain the attention of the class. This is done by raising one hand. When pupils see this, they should respond by being silent and responding with STAR.
● S - Sitting or standing up straight
● T - Tracking the teacher
● A - Attention at all times
● R - Respect towards others
Listening Learners
Why? We all do listening learners to ensure everybody is able to learn without distractions. Know that pupils who do not follow school rules will have a consequence for this.
We use Listening Learners in class. This means that we use STAR -
S - Sitting or standing up straight
T - Tracking the teacher
A - Attention at all times
R - Respect towards others
Each classroom will have a display of the STAR for pupils to reference at all times.

Why? We use careful contributing to be given every chance to explore or discuss our learning and that we can be listened to ensuring my opinion is valued.
We expect all children to contribute in class. Careful contributing means:

Kaleidoscope Behaviour Curriculum

         Consequences Chart

Notes:

1. Each day starts afresh for all pupils. The yellow cards are accumulative through the week.
2. Script for C1 2 and 3 are to be used when delivering the consequence. (To be created)
3. If a red card is issued on a Friday afternoon, then the sanction of internal suspension out of class is carried over to the Monday of the next week and explained to both the pupil and parent.
4. If a pupil receives 3 red cards in a week then the pupil moves into C5.
5. If the level of the behaviour is severe then they go straight to C4 or C5 and bypass the others, this is at the discretion of the member of staff.
6. In the issue of a red card – it is at the discretion of the teacher if a letter of communication is sent home. I.e. is the red card enough of a consequence to deter from further consequences required. If not sent the first time then could be used if a subsequent behaviour is witnessed.
7. ALL staff are able to give out consequences at any time – The teacher will be responsible for the logistics of the consequence.
8. If possible, all yellow and red cards are recorded on Safeguard under filters - This is to track trends and patterns in routines/expectation breakdowns and support required.
