The Classroom Code of Conduct: Your Choice

If you excel in any way

You will be awarded a merit card or a merit sticker. THis can lead to Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates. In the Summer term the students with the most merits get the chance to go on a trip.

If you misbehave or don't do your work

You may get a written referral which will go from your subject teacher to the Head of Department, Head of Year and Form tutor. You may get a detention at break, luchtime or after school, or a letter sent home to your parents.

Mobile Phones

We take in the morning several mobile phones and give them back at the end of day. All phones are named and kept safe within the school office. This prevents the sorry tale we have where phones have gone missing. Any student caught with a phone during school hours will automatically have it confiscated. This is then kept in the school safe and can only be collected on the last day of term or sooner by a parent or responsible adult.

Jewellery

The procedure for confiscated jewellery is exactly the same as for mobile phones.

Borrowed Money for Lunch / Bus Fare For Years 7 8 & 9 ONLY

Money is still being borrowed and not returned. We now have to write home to parents. Although we try to be accommodating here, we have limited funds, please remind students we are not able to lend for cake sales and drinks etc, this money is for emergencies only! If, after repeated requests, money is still not returned the pupil in question will no longer be eligible to borrow again. It costs us more to retrieve the money by writing home and reminding parents than it does to lend it in the first place. If this continues, we will no longer be lending money.
