Class Charts – The rocket

Golden Time “Steps”Breaking a Golden Rule:

• If a child is seen breaking a Golden Rule they are given a verbal warning.

• If the rule is broken again, they are shown a warning card or, for infants they are placed on the amber part of the rocket.

Decision Time:

• This is the child’s decision time and they can either choose to keep the Golden Rule or carry on breaking it.

Losing Golden Time:

• At this point the child will lose 10 minutes of Golden Time, Infants 5 minutes.

• Our ambition is for all children and young people in Glasgow to know their rights and have the freedom in our establishments to enjoy these rights.

• To achieve this we need all adults to support children and young people in knowing their rights and working together to ensure these rights are protected.
