Carnoustie High School Building Positive
Relationships Policy 2016
Carnoustie High School Vision and Values
Carnoustie High School’s 2020 vision represents the work of pupils,
Parent/Carers and staff, who together want a school where our pupils will
• Achieve the highest possible levels of attainment
• Be ready for the world; confident, resilient, adaptable
• Secure a sustained positive future
Learning is at the heart of all that we do and we provide a challenging
school experience. The contributions of all members of our school community
are valued and everyone is treated with dignity, kindness and respect.
We are an inclusive school and we reflect the diverse society of 21st Century
Scotland demonstrating values that promote moral and ethical conduct
across our school community. We foster the active participation that makes
our young people self-confident, well-informed and independent-minded;
prepared to be fully involved members of a democratic society.
Individuals are supported to develop the personal attributes and the
interpersonal skills required to accept increasing responsibility for their actions
and respect the rights of others. Our pupils are globally-aware and know that
they have a responsibility to make choices and take actions that work
towards a sustainable future at local, national and global level.
Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all learners and, working with
partners, we offer pathways that build on pupils’ enthusiasm and interest
throughout the Broad General Education and Senior Phase of their school
experience.
We work hard to inspire a lifelong passion for learning, encouraging ambition
and excellence and we recognise and celebrate achievement in
academic, sporting, cultural and community activities.

Building Positive Relationships Policy Objectives
At Carnoustie High School, we aim to develop the four Curriculum for
Excellence Capacities in our young people in order that they leave school
fully prepared with skills for learning, life and work. By preparing our young
people to develop these skills we are supporting the sustainability of the
different pathways of our future workforce. To this end, this policy focuses on
the promotion of positive behaviour, building positive relationships and
implementing a range of strategies to encourage all pupils to achieve
success within school and beyond.
This policy takes account of various national policies such as; Getting It Right
For Every Child (GIRFEC), Better Relationships, Better Learning, Better
Behaviour (2013), Building Curriculum for Excellence Through Positive
Relationships and Behaviour, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child (UNCRC) to name a few.
This policy develops the principles of Curriculum for Excellence (CFE) and
contributes to the development of successful learners, confident individuals,
effective contributors and responsible citizens. This is achieved with good
relationships and positive behaviour. Children and young people have the
right to feel happy, safe, respected and included and all staff will be
proactive in promoting positive behaviour in the classroom, social areas and
wider community.
Underpinning this is the emotional health and wellbeing of staff which is
developed and maintained by ensuring positive relationships within the
school community. (Building Curriculum for Excellence through Positive
Relationships and Behaviour, 2010).
Carnoustie High School (CHS) is a Rights Respecting School:
‘Every child has the right to an education. We shall take all appropriate
measures to ensure that school discipline is administered in a manner
consistent with the child’s human dignity’ (UNCRC, Article 28).
4
Aims of the Policy within the context of the Four
Capacities
Successful Learners
All pupils have a right to learn in an environment which promotes pupil
engagement to achieve their potential.
Teachers have a responsibility to set high expectations for learning and
ensure that pupils maintain standards, providing intervention as required
to facilitate this.
Parent/Carers should support their child by developing their learning
through the encouragement of homework, study and partnership with
the school.
Confident Individuals
Pupils should be encouraged to work hard to achieve their potential
and should receive praise for their positive efforts.
Teachers should use the merit system to reward positive behaviour and
so boost pupil confidence.
Parent/Carers should be informed when their child experiences success
in order that they can celebrate their accomplishments.
Effective Contributors
Pupils should seek opportunities to contribute positively to the life of the
school and the wider community and their achievement in helping
others should be recognised.
Staff should provide opportunities for pupils to contribute to the school
and acknowledge and record positive contributions.
Parent/Carers should inform Pupil Care and Support staff or Form
Teachers of pupil achievements which take place outside of school.
Responsible Citizens
Pupils have a responsibility to ensure that their own behaviour does not
disrupt the learning of others and that they show respect for all
members of the school community.
5
Staff has a responsibility to implement the school’s Building Positive
Relationships Policy to encourage all pupils to achieve their potential,
whilst respecting the dignity of pupils.
Parent/Carers have a responsibility to encourage their children to act
responsibly at all times and work in partnership with staff.
Carnoustie High School is a Rights-Respecting
School
In line with Angus Council and National guidelines, Carnoustie High School
has a staged intervention behaviour policy using Restorative Approaches to
develop positive behaviour and ensuring all pupils are safe, healthy,
achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included.
At Carnoustie High School we are committed to embedding the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of our school
culture and ethos.
We therefore have a responsibility to ensure that everyone in our school
community:
1) is aware of the UNCRC rights
2) respects the rights of others
In doing this, we strive to create:
1) A safe and enjoyable environment for all to work and learn
2) An environment where everyone can express their thoughts and
concerns
3) A culture of mutual respect leading to sustained, positive relationships
The guidelines laid out in this document provide the tools and strategies
required to promote a positive school culture and ethos. By nurturing the
appropriate attitudes and behaviours in our pupils we can develop their
personalities, talents, skills and abilities to the full.
The following UNCRC articles relate directly to Carnoustie High School’s
Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy.

12
Explanation of Rights & Responsibilities Flowchart
All Rights and Responsibilities posters should be displayed in all classrooms
and social areas.
Further supporting explanation on the use of electronic devices is outlined
below:
“Electronic devices” means mobile telephones, tablets or similar which may
detract from the learning taking place in the classroom. However, it is at the
teacher’s discretion if they wish to allow use of such devices for learning
purposes, for example, use of calculator function in science lessons, taking a
photograph of a complicated diagram, voice recording for oral
examinations in language lessons, noting homework in calendar, accessing
educational websites. Teachers must give express permission for this;
otherwise no electronic device should be permitted.
School Uniform Policy
All pupils are required to wear school uniform in school and on educational
visits.
The uniform for Carnoustie High School is:
• Plain black skirt or trousers
• White shirt/blouse which buttons up to the neck
• Plain black v-neck sweater/cardigan
• Plain black school shoes
• School tie (available from the school office for £3.00)
• Black embroidered school blazer
Appropriate school uniform is described above; jeans, leggings, jeggings,
shorts and short skirts are not appropriate items of uniform. Blouses and shirts
should be buttoned to the neck and tie visible. Shoes should be entirely
black, without obvious branding, stripes, logos etc. Outdoor jackets and
hoodies should not be worn in the school building.
All staff should check every lesson that the school dress code is being
followed. If a pupil is not wearing school uniform, a verbal reminder should
be issued. It is the responsibility of all staff to remind the pupil of appropriate
13
uniform according to school policy but only Form Tutor (FT) to log a demerit
on SEEMIS. If pupil is persistently not in correct uniform then staff to email the
pupil’s FT to request issue of a demerit and flag up the issue. This will be
recorded on SEEMIS. FTs should refer persistent failure to wear school uniform
to PTPCS who will use their professional judgement to take further action and
if necessary refer to Year Head.
Lateness Policy
If a pupil is late to school, they should report to the school office where they
will be issued with a late slip. The office staff will record this on SEEMIS as late.
If a pupil is late to Form Tutor time, then the FT records as late on SEEMIS and
verbally reminds the pupil about the importance of being on time. If this
persists, then the FT refers to relevant PTPCS who will interview pupil, and will
deal with appropriately.
If a pupil is late to a lesson, then the class teacher records as late on SEEMIS
and verbally reminds the pupil about the importance of being on time. If this
happens again, the teacher has a restorative conversation with pupil and
records on SEEMIS as a level 2. Persistent lateness to class should be
escalated to a level 3 sanction. If there is no improvement, referral to PTCG
for level 4.
Year Heads monitor lateness weekly and will interview pupils and take action
appropriate to the pupil for persistent offending if previous sanctions have
had no effect.
Corridor Behaviour
To minimise incidents in the corridor, teachers should be in the corridors to
welcome pupils to class to support a positive school ethos when pupils enter
and leave their classrooms. All eating and drinking must take place only in
the Social Area. If an incident occurs in the corridor, the nearest member of
staff should deal with this, and if necessary refer to the PTCG responsible for
that curriculum area. This should be logged on SEEMIS.

15
Building Positive Relationships Intervention Flowchart Explanation
Level 1
Make pupils aware that they are given 1 informal warning following
unacceptable/inappropriate behaviour before formal consequences
begin and details logged.
Level 2
Staff has a short restorative conversation with the pupil at an
appropriate time as necessary. This should be based on the 3 principles
of a Restorative Conversation establishing:
1) What the problem is (facts)
2) What the effects of this behaviour was (consequences)
3) How the situation can be repaired (future)
All CHS staff has been trained in Restorative Approaches. Teachers use
their professional judgement to conduct the conversation outside the
room or in the classroom discreetly, whilst other pupils are working to
ensure the child’s dignity. Further training can be provided by the
Building Positive Relationships group as required.
Class teacher logs a level 2 demerit on SEEMIS so to have a record of
pupil behaviour. If pupil then adheres to behaviour policy from then
on, no further action is required.
Level 3
If a pupil continues to display inappropriate behaviour following a
restorative chat with the class teacher then the class teacher uses their
professional judgement to issue a level 3 sanction. Class teacher logs
level 3 on SEEMIS to have record of pupil behaviour. Level 3 sanctions
may be either:
1) A level 3 restorative exercise, requiring the pupil to think about what
has led to the sanction and how they can resolve the situation, and
apologise to those involved (teacher, other pupils). This exercise
16
must be signed by a parent/carer to ensure they are aware of the
situation. It is up to staff to use their professional judgement and can
issue a detention instead of a restorative exercise (see below).
2) A detention is issued by the class teacher. This will take place at an
assigned time during a break-time/lunch time and be supervised
within the CG (A recommended guide time for level 3 detentions
would be 15 minutes approximately). It does not mean the class
teacher is responsible for supervision of the detention, nor does it
have to be the PTCG, but CGs can decide how to operate this
detention amongst themselves, using a rota system or however they
prefer, provided that a consistent approach is taken.
The supervising teacher will issue a restorative exercise to be
completed during the detention time, and may use this opportunity to
discuss the behaviour with the pupil and use restorative language to
repair the relationships affected by the situation. If one of the two
sanctions is completed satisfactorily then the intervention is successful
and no further action will be necessary.
NB: It is up to the class teacher to use their professional judgement to
decide which sanction they use depending on the situation and what
would be the most effective and restorative approach for the pupil. In
both cases, a level 3 should be recorded on SEEMIS and the school
office will send a daily group call to parents to alert them that their
child has been issued with a level 3 sanction.
Level 4
Class teacher refers a pupil to PTCG if all channels at level 1-3 have
taken place and the behaviour is still unacceptable in the classroom
following the issue of a detention or restorative exercise at level 3 or the
exercise or detention has not been completed.
Classroom teacher refers pupil to PTCG via SEEMIS. PTCG then uses
their professional judgement to choose a further sanction from the
following list as deemed appropriate to the situation.
1) Level 4 exercise issued by PT. This must be signed by parent/carer to
ensure they are aware of the situation and logged as level 4 on SEEMIS;
17
2) A level 4 detention is issued by PTCG, with a letter issued to
parent/carer informing them that this will take place and logged on
SEEMIS as level 4; (A recommended guide time for level 4 detentions
would be 30 minutes approximately).
3) Restorative Face-to-Face mediation between those affected (i.e.
class teacher, pupil(s) and PTCG). N.B All PTCGs at Carnoustie High
School have been trained in restorative face-to-face mediation
training. Further training can be provided by the Building Positive
Relationships group as required;
4) PTCG removes pupil from class, initiates good neighbouring
procedure and issues pupil with a red slip to the school office to be
accommodated in another room across the school where there is a
senior class.
5) For persistent low level failure to fulfil CHS responsibilities, PTCG may
issue a departmental behaviour log with targets to monitor pupil
progress. PTCG to copy monitors to Year Heads to keep informed on
pupil progress.
In all cases, the level 4 is logged by PTCG and a referral is completed
by class teacher. If this intervention is successful then no further action is
required. (Good Neighbouring policy information in the next section of
this policy)
NB: If the relevant PTCG is absent or unavailable, then it will be agreed
that one member of the CG will deputise in their absence and class
teachers will send level 4 pupils to that teacher in their absence.
Level 5
If PTCG intervention is not successful, detention or exercise has not
been completed, mediation is not successful or pupil refuses to be
removed from class then PTCG refers on to Senior Leadership Team
member (SLT).
It is then the appropriate Deputy Head Teachers (DHTs) job to use their
professional judgement to intervene in an appropriate manner. This
may be:
1) A written restorative exercise, to be signed by parent/carer to show
they are aware of the situation;
18
2) A detention issued by SLT, with parent/carer or carer to be informed
of the situation;
3) A restorative face-to-face mediation to take place between the
DHT, pupil and class teacher, PTCG as appropriate;
4) A meeting with parent/carer scheduled;
5) Exclusion, internal or external.
Under all these circumstances a level 5 must be logged on SEEMIS and
a referral completed.
It should be highlighted that there are many pathways throughout the
procedure to suit the situation and depending on what is going to be
effective for and in the best interests of the pupil and that the
teacher/support staff should use their own professional judgement in
dealing with the situation within the boundaries of this framework. This
will ensure a consistent approach across all classrooms, subjects,
curriculum groups and the whole school whilst allowing for staff
flexibility.

behaviour persists they should be sent to
PT. This must still be completed by pupil.
NB: PTCG must still follow up behaviour
as a level 4 after the incident. Level 4
sanctions can include: Restorative
Conversation, Detention, Level 4
punishment exercise, as appropriate.
NB: If a pupil is sent by class teacher to
PTCG, this constitutes level 4 and a
referral to PTCG is required by class
teacher.
Red slip: Office to record pupil name,
form class, day, period, referring PT in the
record folder to allow SLT to identify
patterns in behaviour.
Instructions for Staff on Implementing the
Good Neighbouring Policy
21
Good neighbour Flow-Chart for level 4
This flow-chart should be used in conjunction with the current building
positive relationships policy as a possible intervention at level 4. The
good neighbour procedure can be triggered when class teacher has
used all available sanctions to level 3 and inappropriate behaviour
persists, or is deemed so unacceptable to merit immediate removal
from class. If this is the case, the class teacher refers the pupil to the
PTCG. As previously, if a pupil is sent by a class teacher to a PTCG, this
constitutes a level 4 and a referral to PTCG is required by the class
teacher.
PTCG then issues pupil with a red Good Neighbour slip and sends
the pupil to school office. PTCG to either email CAROFFICE or call
the office to alert the office a pupil is on their way.
The PTCG must still follow up behaviour as a level 4 incident.
Level 4 sanctions as described previously can include:
Restorative Conversation, Detention, Level 4 Exercise,
Parent/carer Contact (discussed with PTPCS or Year Head prior
to initiating Parent/carer contact).
The office will use the Good Neighbour chart to allocate the
pupil to one of the timetabled rooms where there is a senior class
and send pupil to that room with the red slip and email the
receiving teacher to tell them the pupil is on their way.
The good neighbour teacher will complete the red slip,
accommodate the pupil and return the completed slip to the
office staff.
The office staff will record the pupil’s name, form class, period,
referring PTCG in the record folder to allow SLT to identify
patterns in behaviour. The office staff will then copy the slip to
PTCG who will follow up with behaviour sanctions.
It is hoped that this system will allow a consistent, coherent,
whole school approach to managing behaviour, going through
the correct channel and will provide an accurate picture of
behaviour patterns across the school.
