How to use them
- Choose the band for your class and print the rules poster on A3.
- Write your class or subject in the box at the top of the poster.
- Discuss each rule with pupils before you put it up, and add your own on the charter.
- Have every pupil sign or colour a box on the charter, then display it beside the rules.
- Refer back to the poster when you praise good choices, not only when rules are broken.
About these posters
Each band has a rules poster to display and a class charter for pupils to sign. KS1 uses five short rules with big icons. KS2 gives five rules with a line of explanation. KS3-4 sets out what we do and do not do in the room. The charters come in a colour version and an ink-light outline version that is cheaper to print and nice to colour in. The wording is kind, inclusive and general, so you can match it to your own behaviour policy. Every poster downloads as an A4 and an A3 PDF.
Questions
Can pupils help write the rules?
Yes. The charter has a space for your class's own promise, so pupils can add what matters to them.
What is the ink-light version?
An outline copy of the charter with no big colour areas. It uses less ink and pupils can colour it.
Do the rules match my school's behaviour policy?
They are general. Edit or add to them so they match your school's policy and routines.
Can I use them for a whole school?
Yes. Use the band that suits each year group and keep the same themes across classes.
