Water Primary, a small school with a big heart.

In our Water family, we encourage passionate curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around us in an environment where everyone is valued, empowered and achieves their full potential.

At Water Primary School, our Relationships Policy forms the foundation of our school culture. It reflects our commitment to respect, equality of opportunity, and a relentless drive to remove barriers to success for both children and adults. Every member of our school community - staff and pupils alike - contributes to this shared culture, which defines who we are and how we work together. We are clear and consistent in our approach. Regardless of expectations that may exist at home or in the wider community, our school maintains a unified and respectful ethos that supports every child’s development.

Our approach is not built on a disciplinary system of rewards and consequences. Instead, it is rooted in the strength of relationships between adults and children. We invest continuously in nurturing these relationships, focusing on building self-esteem, self-worth, and setting high expectations. This begins with the adults who model and uphold the values we expect to see in our children.

We recognise that strong, positive relationships are the foundation of effective behaviour.

It is this collective commitment that makes Water Primary School a safe, inclusive, and aspirational place for everyone.

We value the importance of the management of behaviour in our school for these reasons:

• It underpins everything in school and life.
• It is not something children automatically know.
• It leads to more progressive learning.
• It builds deeper friendships.
• It promotes a higher self-confidence.
