We have a safe and secure building with fully fenced grounds. Staff and governors afford the highest priority to keeping pupils safe. During the school day all gates into the school are closed and doors locked. All visitors and parents must enter school via the main entrance, sign in and obtain a badge if they are to proceed through the school building. Safeguarding policy and practice are frequently reviewed to ensure that processes are secure and best practice is maintained. Rigorous checks are carried out for all staff, governors and volunteers. Staff have received safeguarding training; school leaders respond swiftly to all safeguarding issues.
CPS promotes good attitude and behaviour throughout the school day.We believe that everyone has a responsibility to behave with care and concern towards others. In order to achieve this, we follow our Behaviour policy in accordance with MOE guidelines, which aims to create a fair and consistent whole-school system.
This establishes a safe, orderly and positive environment in which both children and staff may flourish. Frequent positive reinforcement all day, every day, gives the child better self-esteem and motives him/her to choose good rather than bad behaviour. Praise and rewards usually take the form of spoken praise, certificates, stickers and badges as well as effective use of Class Dojo. There are known consequences for inappropriate behaviour such as a spoken warning, name placed on a tracking sheet, playtime removed and a letter informing parents is sent home.
At Crown Private School, we believe that children have a right to learn and play in a safe environment. We continually develop our anti-bullying strategies in order to meet our aim of providing a happy, caring environment in which both children and adults feel secure and valued. We have in place various system in which bullying is monitored and children can in confidence and privacy report any such instances.
The strategies implemented are intended to combat bullying, thus contribute towards our vision of creating a supportive, inclusive environment in which children can grow and develop. Annually, we hold a National Bullying Prevention week, where the children explore the feelings, actions and consequences of bullying through the eyes of the victim and the bully. Children are also taught about diversity, racism and cyber bullying in planned activities and Moral Education lessons.
The role of parents in the success of their child’s education is crucial. Close communication is at the core of our partnership approach here at CPS and we have various channels of communication through which parents can be informed of their child’s progress such as the Class dojo, ERP and the weekly open afternoons held every Thursday from 1:30p.m. until 2:30 p.m. We also have full parent's meetings once a term. In addition to this parent can arrange meetings with all teachers via Zoom meetings with prior notice given, as our teachers are always happy to assist and discuss progress and any other pastoral issues.
