Behaviour and Attitudes towards Learning at Benfield
Behaviour at Benfield is very important. All students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that best suits their education and respects the right of others to learn and enjoy school without disruption.
To encourage positive behaviour, we have easy to understand charts in every class room and around the school site that show how you will be rewarded for acting as expected in school. There are also charts that show you how negative or disruptive behaviour will be sanctioned to help you avoid detentions or having to stay after school.

Attitude for Learning
Teachers are very keen to encourage positive behaviour in and around school. Over the course of the school term students will receive ‘PRIDE Points’ for demonstrating positive attitudes towards learning and behaviour as shown in the rewards ladder below.
Every student will be kept up-to-date with their running total of ‘PRIDE Points’. Different levels of ‘PRIDE Points’ will equate to different reward categories e.g. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond & Outstanding Performance. In the final week of each term, students will then be able to spend these ‘PRIDE points’ on a choice of fun and exciting activities on ‘Activities Day’.
