To encourage all children to be the very best they can be emotionally, socially and academically.

Encouraging Each Other

On entry to school all children are placed in a House team which consists of children from every age group. Through this approach we encourage the children to get to know each other, this includes the older children supporting the younger ones and acting as good role models. Across the year we hold ‘House Events’ where the children work with the members of their house team, on a range of fun and collaborative projects. At Princefield we are a team, working with each other to achieve our best! This encourages tolerance and care across the ages, thus promoting our key motto of ‘Working Together for Success’.

Discipline

Our behaviour code of conduct follows 3 simple rules:-

Be Safe

Be Ready

Be Respectful

At all times we expect high standards of behaviour. We try to create an environment that makes a child feel safe and secure so that they have the confidence to communicate with staff and their peers which greatly reduces disciplinary problems. Positive reward systems are used throughout the school to encourage and reward good behaviour.
