Behaviour

Behaviour for Learning is the name we give to our whole school Behaviour and Discipline policy.

We believe that students make conscious decisions about how to behave in school. We make clear that there are consequences for poor behaviour. We operate a sequence of consequences which include 2 verbal warnings, detention, or day in isolation. If the behaviour is more serious, a student may be sent home to return with their parents, or they may receive a fixed term exclusion.

We will send a full updated version of our behaviour policy to parents in September.

The B 4 Learning rules are regularly explained to students. They are displayed in classrooms and corridors.

Staff and students have a shared understanding of the standard of behaviour expected in school. Students, teachers, support staff, governors, visitors, OFSTED inspectors and LEA advisers all agree that there has been a marked improvement in behaviour since the introduction of BFL in October 2003.

Behaviour for Learning is here to stay. However, we constantly review the policy, and from time to time we make changes to it. We always welcome the views of parents about the system, and we may seek your opinions by questionnaire at some time in the coming year.
