At Croft Junior School we have high expectations and strive for excellence in a caring, happy and safe environment where every child is valued. Our priority is to deliver high quality teaching and learning, whilst providing rich and enjoyable learning experiences.

Reasonable adjustments will be made for children with SEND.
Purpose
Every child has a right to feel safe, secure and respected in a positive learning environment. Our policy is to recognise every child as an individual and to value the positive contribution she/he makes to school as a whole.
Our primary aim is the safety and well-being of every child. We value the principles of fairness and equality of opportunity for every member of the school community. We are constantly working towards self-discipline and mutual respect. The welfare of our children is best met when staff, parents and the governing body work together.
All staff, pupils and visitors to school must follow the policy. A copy of this policy will be shared with all stakeholders and its implementation regularly monitored.
