Good behaviour is essential in the safeguarding of all children and in providing high quality learning experiences, in a stimulating and supportive environment.  Good behaviour is shown through the conduct of the whole school community, which enables the provision for a safe, secure and caring environment where effective learning can take place and where children can develop self esteem, independence, self discipline and responsibility.

The West Lodge Way and class charters are written at the beginning of every year, in consultation with the children during upper school and lower school assemblies and lessons.  They are then displayed in classrooms and around the school.
