We follow our Code of Behaviour policy for promoting positive behaviour across the school. At the centre of our school's Code of Behaviour is a Bí Cineálta (anti-bullying) ethos which focuses on respect for each individual. We refer to the Code of Behaviour on a regular basis and apply its values in everyday school life. This policy aims to:

• To help children to think clearly, creatively and critically and to act independently.
• To help in fostering the desire to learn, in encouraging children to a sense of self esteem and in cultivating in them the motivation to apply themselves to worthwhile and satisfying activities.
• To help children to develop their creative and imaginative capacities, through both expressive and appreciative activities.
• To help children to acquire knowledge, skills and practical abilities and the desire to use them.
• To help children to develop physically.
• To help children to understand the society and environment in which they live, the interdependence of people and nations, and to foster a spirit of co-operation and the capacity and willingness to contribute in a critical but positive manner towards the development of society.
• To help children to respect, appreciate and understand their own and other cultural identities.
• To help children to acquire and develop moral and religious values and a respect for the beliefs and values held by others.
• To help children to prepare for the social, domestic, recreational and working aspects of their adult lives.

We foster a restorative approach across our school which supports our positive school climate. This approach means that we focus on building and maintaining positive relationship, nurturing connections and if needed repairing relationships in a healthy and fair way where the voice of each individual is heard. We follow the following restorative questions when dealing with issues that arise to focus on restoring and repairing the relationships of those involved.

1. What happened?
2. What were you thinking of at the time?
3. What have you thought about since?
4. Who has been affected and in what way?
5. How could things have been done differently?
6. What do you think needs to happen next?
