Behaviour and Appearance
Behaviour
Almost all of our students behave excellently at school and in the local community and are a credit to the school and their families. The school reports termly on standards of behaviour and effort, but also contacts parents/carers through other systems to flag up any concerns or note particular achievements.
The school takes a range of different actions to promote high standards of behaviour including:
- rewards and recognition of good behaviour and positive learning attitudes
- sanctions where students do not meet the high expectations of the school
- support strategies for students whose behaviour needs longer term intervention
The school has a clear policy which states:
- its expectation of behaviour for students
- the ways in which the school supports and develops good behaviour
- the steps that parents/carers can take to support their child’s progress in the school
A full copy of this policy is available from the school or on our website under Our School/Policies.
Further information regarding all of the above is available in separate sections of the website (please click the relevant items on the menu to the left).
Appearance
As a school we have a school uniform code that applies to dress, jewellery and hair stylings. This is because we believe that learning how to conform to dress expectations is important in life – whether it be for the work situation, or in preparation for a formal social occasion. In our experience, ensuring high standards of presentation is also very helpful to driving the culture of Aspiration and Determination that enables our students to achieve their very best. It also helps minimise the pressure to dress or appear a certain way amongst students which is particularly important in young people’s teenage years.
