I find the work too difficult?

Speak to your subject teacher, they will be happy to help you. 

I can't understand or can't do my homework?

Speak to your teacher BEFORE your next lesson.

I have forgotten my P.E. Kit?

You will be given spare kit to take part in the lesson. 

I don't feel well?

Tell the teacher. They may send you to reception who will place you in the medical room and may contact home for you to be collected.  This will depend on your symptoms.

I am being bullied?

Tell someone - your form tutor, a teacher, a peer mentor, a pastoral mentor, head of year, assistant head of year, parent or carer.

What is the positive management behaviour system in school? 

We operate a positive behaviour management policy and aim to promote good attitudes to learning. We reward these positive behaviours by: recognising achievements, praising individuals, awarding achievements in lessons, nominating students for success assemblies and giving postcards to those exceeding expectations. 

We also have a behaviour system:

• Reminders:  If you are disruptive or not working as directed by staff, you will be given a reminder. If this continues you will be given a second reminder. The teacher will clearly explain why you have not met expectations and what you need to do to improve.

What happens next? 

If students continue to be disruptive they will be asked to step outside the classroom and the teacher will discuss reasons for removal. The student will be given targets for returning into the class. This will be evented as a warning and their name will be placed on the whiteboard and behaviour monitored that lesson. 

• Warning: persistent low level disruption - the student will be expected to do a detention with the class teacher at the next break or lunch time.

What happens next? 

If students continue to be disruptive they will be collected by a duty member of staff and taken to another room to comlete their work. 

• Removal: Detention with either the classroom teacher, or Head of Year.

What happens next? 

If a student receives 2 removals in a day, or 3 across the week, they will spend a full day in our Internal Inclusion Unit (IEU) where they will be given work by senior staff. The expectation in the IEU is that they work in silence. Students will have access to resources such as text books and chromebooks so they don't miss out on any learning. If students are disruptive in the IEU they may be suspended from school for a fixed period. This will then necessitate a reintegration meeting between the Head of Year and/or senior staff with parents to discuss how the student can be supported and returned to lessons.
