Behaviour and Rewards

shutterstock_1869028768-(1)-[Converted]Behaviour

All students are expected to behave in a way which is respectful of other people within the school and the wider community and of the school environment.  

Care, courtesy and consideration are emphasised as part of the School’s ethos. However, if students do not behave sensibly, they will be held to account.  Parents will be contacted and corrective measures used. Students may be required to do extra work, either in a detention at school or at home, or to do something that is useful during lunch or morning breaks. Students whose behaviour or attitude to work during lessons causes concern may be required to have a report card signed by the teacher at the end of each lesson.

Consequences to poor behaviour are communicated clearly to students via the Code of Conduct, in their planners. Consequences to poor behaviour are also clearly displayed in every teaching room. Teachers and students may refer to this during lessons in order that low level disruption may be dealt with effectively and be prevented from escalating.

Procedures have been devised for dealing with any incident where bullying is suspected. Serious offences, such as the possession or use of drugs or alcohol, or violent or aggressive behaviour, will be treated very seriously and will lead to exclusion. 

Damage or theft to the school property or premises

Should instances of deliberate damage or theft occur or accidental damage as a result of irresponsible behaviour, bills for the full cost of replacement or repair will be obtained and forwarded to the parents of those responsible. In more serious cases, it is also likely that students will be faced with some level of suspension.

Role modelling school values

When students are recognised as role models for the consistent demonstration of the school values they can request to be considered for their school colours award. This can be a self-nomination made in writing or a nomination from their Form tutor. The SLT will consider all nominations for school colours. If successful, students will be awarded a new tie showing all of the house colours (replacing the single colour they wear normally) to indicate the higher level status of their achievement. They also get a certificate and their name on the honours board in the main corridor.
