How do we communicate in our school?
How do we communicate in our school?
Everyone will:
Ensure that children are always given priority;
Smile, be welcoming and friendly;
Use a professional tone at all times;
Use excellent manners, thank each other;
Listen carefully to each other, ask questions to check you understand;
Be patient, give the other person time to think and respond appropriately, you do not know what else they are dealing with;
Give people time to liaise with staff members, getting the full picture will mean that the matter is managed as well as possible;
Try to be clear and concise;
Have a right to speak privately, making sure conversations about children cannot be overheard by others;
Have a ‘can do’ attitude, never ‘I can’t do it’, instead ‘I can’t do it yet’ so what do I need to do first to get there in the end; and
Follow our school values; respect, forgiveness, trust, responsibility, thankfulness, justice and humility.
Our communication charter applies to governors,
staff, parents, carers, visitors and pupils.
