Behaviour & Safety
The outstanding behaviour at Kangaroo Kids School ensures that students are safer, less likely to be bullied, and can focus on their learning. We don’t use any stickers or behaviour charts. Our pupils want to learn, and they manage their own behaviour.

We have clear expectations and foster partnerships with parents to maintain a bully free environment. As potential victims or bystanders, we assume shared responsibility for the reporting of bullying to ensure it can be dealt with immediately.
