The Martongate Way

At Martongate Primary School we understand the value of relationships. We know that children need to feel safe, secure and comfortable with the adults around them in order for them to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

As a school we have developed a curriculum for behaviour, which we call 'The Martongate Way.' This sets out our expectations, rules and routines which we explicitly teach the pupils. We believe this helps to build pupils' character by supporting them to develop the habits and attitudes that will enable them to succeed in later life.

The three simple overarching school rules are encompassed by our 3 R's - Ready, Responsible and Respect. These are applied to all contexts within and beyond our school environment. To ensure these are fully understood by pupils, we reinforce these expectations regularly, praise pupils for demonstrating these standards, and display posters around the school to clarify the behaviour we expect in different parts of the school. An example poster can be seen below.
