Drinks and Healthy Snacks

Milk is provided each day for those children who want it. A charge is made each term. Alternatively you may send in a carton of juice. We recommend that your child also has a bottle of water in school to drink when they are thirsty. We recommend that your child brings in a piece of fruit to eat midmorning.

School Dress

For practical reasons the children are strongly encouraged to wear the distinctive school clothing.

The school colours are red, grey and black and the specific school outfit is a red or grey top with the white Strand swan motif, grey or black trousers or skirt, red and white checked dress. Sweatshirts, fleeces, Tshirts and hats are available for purchase from the school office.

Other items are readily available from High Street stores.

Governors' Charging Policy

We provide a curriculum which includes taking the children out on relevant visits or inviting into the school people who can offer something special and exciting. In years 5 and 6 the children are given the opportunity to go on a one-week residential trip. Such activities are costly and beyond the capacity of the school budget. We therefore ask parents to make a financial contribution so that such outings and entertainments can go ahead. Families are also invited to 'sponsor' an additional child and this has proved very successful in ensuring full funding for our activities. A copy of the full Charging Policy is available in school.

Behaviour

We have a clear Behaviour Policy which is known and adhered to by all members of the school community. The policy sets out clear guidelines and procedures for behaviour in and around the school. The aims of the Strand Junior School "Management of Behaviour Policy" are to:

Promote respect, tolerance and understanding between all members of the school community
Encourage care and concern for one another and for the environment
Create a secure, co-operative and friendly atmosphere which facilitates learning and allows all children to make the most of their social and educational opportunities at Strand
Put an end to incidents involving racism and bullying and violence
Maximise good behaviour and minimise unacceptable behaviour.

We aim to help each child to develop:

Self-respect, self worth and self confidence
Respect and concern for others, an appreciation of the needs of others
A respect for fundamental values and attitudes: honesty, trust, respect for property, fairness and tolerance
Self-discipline, independence and a sense of responsibility.

We have a few simple rules that ensure the children's health and safety and these are published in our Parents' Handbook.

In addition, the children are encouraged to draw up Rules/Codes of Conduct for the classrooms and around the school and the playground. We place great emphasis on recognising, encouraging and rewaqrding good behaviour. We value and rely on the support of parents. We have a shared responsibility to promote good behaviour and safeguard the welfare of the children in our care.

A copy of the full "Management of Behaviour" policy is available in school. A copy of "Managing Behaviour at Strand on the Green Junior School - A Guide to Parents/Carers" will be given to you in September.
