Positive Behaviour Policy and Toolkit

Calm, kind and purposeful classrooms, with a policy everyone can follow

A behaviour policy only works when every adult applies it the same way. This pack gives you a professionally designed positive behaviour policy built on relationships, recognition and restorative practice, a clear consequences ladder and every form you need, written for international and national schools from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

What is inside

• A 24-page editable policy (Word and PDF) with 15 sections: purpose and principles, scope and legal framework, roles, expectations, recognition and rewards, a six-step consequences ladder, restorative conversations, reasonable adjustments and additional needs, bullying, behaviour outside school and online, suspension and exclusion, searching and confiscation, working with parents, staff training, and data, monitoring and review.
• Ten fillable forms (344 fields): classroom behaviour plan, restorative conversation script and record, incident log, individual behaviour support plan, parent meeting record, reward tracker, reflection sheets for primary and secondary students, behaviour data review and a bullying report form.
• Two worked examples: a completed restorative conversation record and a completed individual behaviour support plan. All names are fictional.
• Leader toolkit: a de-escalation quick guide for staff, an adoption checklist for international schools and a first-term rollout guide.
• Start Here guide (one page) and your licence.

Who it is for

Principals, heads of school, deputy heads and pastoral leads who want consistent, fair and kind behaviour across the whole school, whether you are writing a new policy, replacing an outdated one or preparing for inspection or accreditation.

Formats

One ZIP download: the policy in Word (.docx, fully editable) and PDF with clickable contents and bookmarks, the forms as a fillable PDF, a one-page Start Here PDF and Licence.txt. Every placeholder, such as [School Name], is highlighted so you can find and replace it in minutes.

Licence

Single-school licence: one school or one campus, with unlimited internal use. Edit, print and share it with your own staff as often as you need. No resale, redistribution or sharing outside the licensed school. For a group of schools, please buy one licence for each school or campus.

Important

This template is a professional framework, not legal advice. The law on suspension, exclusion, searching, confiscation and the use of reasonable force differs between countries. Check sections 11 and 12 against the law of your country and take local legal advice before adoption.
