Marking

Lunchtime Behaviour System Yellow card• This is a warning. The lunchtime supervisors will write down the child’s name in

their book and talk to the child about what rule they have broken.

Red card• If they break a rule a second time or they do something serious, the child will get a

red card. Mrs Richards will send a letter to the parent/carer to tell them about the behaviour and the child will have a lunchtime detention the following day with Miss Alison.

• If they misbehave again, they will receive another red card.The parent/carer will have to come for a meeting with Mrs Richards and Miss Alison to discuss the behaviour and they will have a lunchtime detention for 2 days.

• If your child gets another Red card, it is very serious, they will have a lunchtime detention for 3 days and you will have a meeting with Mrs Holland. The child will go on a ‘report card’ to check their behaviour every play and lunchtime for 10 consecutive days. You will then meet Mrs Holland again to check improvements have been made. At the end of each term the slate is wiped clean and children start each term without a record of detentions or red cards.
