Students are expected to follow the behaviour expectations at all times. Specifically in relation to corridor behaviours, this means students should:
keep hands, feet and objects to themselves
walk calmly around the building
walk on the right hand side
keep the school environment clean, tidy and undamaged
be in full uniform at all times
Students who do not comply with these expectations will be issued a sanction according to our behaviour chart.
Due to COVID-19 a one way system has been introduced in the corridors which is indicated with arrows on the floor.
Students should adhere to the one way system at all times.
Parts of the school require a two way system, in which case students should walk on the right hand side.
Students should walk to their next lessons swiftly and without stopping to chat to friends.
Session 4 is an hour and a half long and will contain period 4 and lunch.
Years 10, 11 and the sixth form will have lunch during the first half hour of session 4 and then will go to their classroom for period 4.
Year 7 students will start period 4, leave the lesson for thirty minutes for lunch, and then return for the last part of the lesson.
Years 8 and 9 will be taught their period 4 lesson and then will go for lunch for the final part of session 4.
There are specific routes and line up routines that students follow to access the canteen for lunch.
Until further notice break times have been combined with lunch time, so that there is one break/lunch a day. This is made possible by a staggered start and end time to the day.
Lunch time will be staggered and students will only mix with their zone while eating in the canteen.
All students must be in the designated areas which have been zoned due to COVID-19: the canteen, the main hall, the playground/courts/terrace.
Students are not permitted to be anywhere else in the school building, other than with a teacher. This is for safeguarding and health and safety purposes.
Students can use the designated toilets during lesson changeover and at the start and end of lunch time.
Year 7 have exclusive use of the toilets in the PE corridor.
Year 8 have exclusive use of the toilets in the maths corridor.
Years 9-13 can use all other toilets in the building.
Free water is available in the school canteen.
