We, as a school, encourage your child to do their best in a number of ways through positive verbal comment, class recognition boards, the use of praise within marking of student work, as well as praise points awarded via our online system 'ClassCharts.'

In addition, students showing high attendance and great achievements in and outside of school will be celebrated regularly in our assemblies and Parent & Carer Newsletters.

Our reporting system is designed to recognise success and students' achievements throughout the year – this will feed into celebratory events, such as the House Celebration events and our annual 'Sixth Form Celebration of Achievement' evening.  

The poor behaviour of the few should not affect the learning of the many.

For students who find it more difficult to settle into their learning, we have a range of other strategies that we can put into place, as we will not accept the poor behaviour of the few, affecting the learning of the many. These sanctions include student reports, behaviour intervention where appropriate and detentions at various levels.

In addition, we have a total of two reset rooms for students who fail to complete set work or behave inappropriately.  In these facilities, students will be expected to work in silence and the event will be logged on the student’s file.  Resets, alongside not completing homework, will lead to a detention supervised by a member of staff at a given date and time.

Persistent offenders will be removed from class for a period of time and will be held in internal reflection, which may take place outside the Headteacher’s or Deputy Headteacher’s Office and will include supervision at break and lunchtime.

In extreme circumstances, students may receive a fixed-term suspension and can even be permanently excluded from the College for persistent disruptive behaviour. In such cases, we will always try to support the child to improve their behaviour.

However, ultimately, continuous disruption to learning will not be tolerated, and a student may be withdrawn from lessons and social time until their behaviour improves.
