If you know how helpful recycling can be or the difference that avoiding single-use items such as paper or plastic cups can make, it is a small sacrifice to commit to recycling regularly and avoid using disposable coffee cups either by opting for normal cups or carrying a reusable coffee mug with you.

Force is never used as a punishment, but is used to bring pupils under control or to restrain them. The Head Teacher limits the power to apply punishments to adults employed within the Nawton CP and Rosedale Abbey CP Schools Federation to work with and support children directly, this includes Teachers, Teaching Assistants and lunchtime Supervisors. The purpose of the School Council is to encourage mutual respect between members of the school community, to help develop strong values and attitudes and to enable all pupils to feel that their views and opinions are important within the context of the whole school. If behaviour continues to be unacceptable anther warning and consequence are given ‘If the unacceptable behaviour continues then you will be given a yellow warning card’Teachers’ powers to discipline include the power to discipline pupils even when they are not at school or in the charge of a member of staff. Teachers can discipline pupils whose conduct falls below the standard which could reasonably be expected of them. This means that if a pupil misbehaves, breaks a school rule or fails to follow a reasonable instruction the teacher can impose a punishment on that pupil. Wearing of any symbols that could cause offence to individuals and or groups, either by gender, sexuality, race, colour, disability or religion. Make the most of seasonal gluts and preserve vegetables in oils, vinegars, chutneys, ketchup and marinades, or freeze them. “Blitz and freeze tomatoes in containers for passata all year round; make kimchi from cauliflower stalks and leaves; use beetroot in jams, vinegars and oil, then chop stalks and leaves to top pastas, pizzas, curries and dal,” says Hunter. In each Class, and at every entrance to school, there is a Code of Conduct displayed to remind all children and adults of the expectations of behaviour within school.

Being green means ensuring that the products you buy and use are sustainable. This means that they come from sustainably sourced resources and where possible renewable or from recycled products. For example, recycled paper which is certified is readily and cheaply available on the market today. Same goes for recycled plastic products. A punishment must be proportionate. In determining whether a punishment is reasonable, section 91 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 says the penalty must be reasonable in all the circumstances and that account must be taken of the pupil’s age, any special educational needs or disability they may have, and any religious requirements affecting them. If the inappropriate behaviour continues the child will be given a red card on the Going for Green Chart. The child completes their work at the designated Thinking Station in classroom away from peers for a period of 15mins in KS1 and 30 minutes in KS2. The child is not allowed to speak to peers and an adult will not speak to the child until the end of the timed period. At the end of the time of the teaching session the Teacher or Teaching Assistant will have a brief discussion about how to improve behaviour.Uccula A, Enna M, Mulatti C.
