Rules should be kept to a minimum but those which exist are important and must be observed.
Apart from the obvious ones concerning good behavior in classrooms, corridors and playgrounds, the rights of the individual child to pursue work and leisure in an orderly fashion without upsetting others will always be stressed. Children must observe the rules:
- We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
- Walk in school
- Follow instructions given by an adult.
- Be polite and helpful in school.
- Don’t leave the building without permission.
- Toys and sweets are not normally allowed in school.
- We come to school to learn.
