Medicine in School Policy
At Windy Nook Primary School, we support the need to ensure that children with medical needs, long or short term, receive appropriate care in school.
Medicines should only be taken to school when essential; that is where it would be detrimental to the child’s health if the medicines were not administered during the school day.
Staff will accept prescription-only medicines; those prescribed by a doctor, dentist or nurse prescriber.

Behaviour Policy
We believe that the ethos of the school is central to creating an environment which allows all pupils to develop and maintain high standards of behaviour and academic achievement. The emphasis is on rewarding positive behaviour, and there are plentiful opportunities to reward, celebrate and reinforce desired behaviour.

Attendance Policy
When attendance at school is optimum, pupils have maximum opportunity to participate in all aspects of school life and learning. We believe that by offering a broad, balanced and exciting curriculum, children will want to attend school. If attendance is poor or sporadic, we must do everything possible, both in terms of provision and checking family circumstances, to improve attendance.

Anti-Bullying Policy
Everyone at Windy Nook Primary School has the right to feel welcome, secure and happy. Only if this is the case will all members of the school community be able to achieve their maximum potential. Bullying of any sort prevents this being able to happen, and prevents equality of opportunity. It is everyone’s responsibility to prevent this happening, and this policy contains guidelines to support this ethos.
Where bullying exists, the victims must feel confident to activate the anti-bullying systems within the school to end the bullying. It is our aim to challenge and inform attitudes about bullying behaviour, increase understanding for bullied pupils, and build an anti-bullying ethos
in the school.
