The school rules are embodied in a code of conduct that form tutors discuss with all students throughout the school year. In order to reinforce this, we ask all students and parents to sign a home-school agreement with us. This makes clear how we can all support the aims of the school in a spirit of partnership.

Our focus is very much on recognising and praising students appropriately and consistently. Our rewards in school are generated through teacher assessments of students´ attitude to learning in lessons and teachers demonstrate praise by giving students stamps in their planner and clean slates on our Bromcom tracking system. This leads to students receiving ´Well Done´ e-postcards, certificates and being entered for an end-of-year rewards prize draw in the rewards assembly.

Poor behaviour that breaks the school code of conduct is dealt with by appropriate sanctions, such as a daily report card and/or detentions (at break, lunchtime and after school). For more serious offences, students are placed in referral (internal exclusion) or they are suspended/excluded from school. We endeavour to inform parents of all behaviour that affects the climate for learning in the school.
