Netherby PRIDE (PB4L)

The Social Behaviour Matrix

The matrix is a list of expected behaviours that are related to the Netherby PRIDE values. The staff developed the matrix so that they could identify areas that needed improving in regards to children’s behaviour. It is broken into different areas in the school grounds so it is easier for the children to learn what they are expected to do and how they are expected to behave.

Under each area there are expectations for each PRIDE value. Many of these areas have been developed into explicit lesson plans which are incorporated into the Termly Coverage plan. The expectation is that teachers timetable teaching these focus lessons during the fortnight so that the children understand the behaviour expected of them. The lessons happen in every classroom so that the school can achieve greater consistency.

The children are given opportunities to practise so that they don’t forget what is expected of them. Sometimes they practise as a class, syndicate or a whole school depending on who is doing it correctly or incorrectly. When students are seen showing Netherby PRIDE and the expected behaviours in the different areas they can be rewarded for their positive behaviour at any time.

In addition, the PRIDE value and lesson for the fortnight becomes the focus of the Monday afternoon PRIDE assembly for the class presenting.
