Safe, Ready, Kind

Pupils and teachers worked together to come with a set of school rules that would work for the whole Bensham Manor Community.

The new rules are:

Safe Ready Kind

SAFE - Bensham Manor is a safe community where both staff and students are expected to adhere to a code of conduct that keeps us all safe. This is based on mutual respect and understanding, and working with each other to make positive choices.

READY - At Bensham Manor we encourage all our students to be ready for whatever the day may bring, being ready with equipment, being ready in lessons and developing those adaptive skills necessary for adult life.

KIND – All the members of the Bensham Manor community strive to demonstrate unconditional positive regard at all times. The Six Principles of Nurture are being developed in our curriculum and practice. We strive to meet the needs being communicated through the child’s behaviour and make them feel heard and valued.

What can I do to help me follow the school rules?

Safe - behave in a way where you keep yourself and others safe. Safe walking, safe playing, safe working.

Ready - always be ready to learn and arrive in lessons with a positive mind-set.

Kind - be kind to yourself and to others.

The Bensham Manor School Band wrote a song about the new school rules. Here are the words:

We got to be SAFE

Keep straight, that's the Bensham way

We got to be READY

Now steady, already again

We got to be KIND

Let’s find, a friend to remind

We got to be SAFE yeah, READY yeah, KIND is the way

We all need education

No need for hesitation

We have a revelation

To tell the whole nation

No need for frustration

We have the information

So be safe, ready and kind,

To demonstrate the Bensham mind Bensham is the best

I said, Bensham is the best We are a family

In harmony Don’t you see Sing with me

Bensham is the best

I said, Bensham is the best

The Bensham band

Don’t forget to clap your hands For the awesome

The brilliant

The only magnificent family That’s the way we role

It’s our goal It’s a show

For the world to know
