Model policy from The Key
We have created a model behaviour policy, which includes a statement of behaviour principles in appendix 1.
Approved by Forbes Solicitors, this model policy is designed for you to adapt to suit your school’s context.

Requirements
A statement of behaviour principles written by governors is required by all:
- Maintained schools
- Pupil referral units (PRUs)
- Non-maintained special schools
Academies and free schools aren't required to have a statement of behaviour principles, but it's recommended that they do (see the section on behaviour).
The principles must:
- Guide the headteacher in determining measures to promote good behaviour and discipline amongst pupils
- Be consulted upon with the headteacher, school staff, parents and pupils
- Be published on your website
