General Policies
MOBILE PHONES
Pupils are permitted to have mobile phones in school but they must be in their bags and switched off during lessons. If a pupil is found to be using a phone during lesson time, their phone will be removed to the school office where it can be collected at the end of the day. A phone is available in the school office should a pupil need to contact their parent for any reason.
ALCOHOL & DRUGS
Alcohol and drugs are not permitted on school property at any time, nor on any school-organised trip or activity. Should a pupil be found in possession of, or to have taken any form of drug or alcohol, parents will be informed and the pupil sent home. Police may also be informed.
SMOKING AND VAPING
There is absolutely no smoking or vaping allowed in school time. This applies for as long as pupils are under the care of the school – i.e. from when they leave their home until they return. This is irrespective of age. Pupils who are caught smoking or vaping within this time will meet the following consequences:
6 week ban on leaving school grounds.
Break and lunch times must be spent either in the corridor outside the staffroom or in the grounds outside that can be viewed from the staffroom.
Support will be given to any pupil who wants to stop smoking or vaping. This will be provided by the school nurse and a smoking cessation person.
