Sanctions

Our Consequences System is designed to support students in their learning and enjoyment of school. It is also there to support our ethos and values of '5 Star Students'

Whilst our ethos is to reward students as often as possible, there inevitably have to be clear expectations regarding behaviour. The rewards and consequences system is based on promoting learning; any type of behaviour that prevents the student or others from learning will be taken very seriously.

Our Consequences System is based on a fair set of rules that will be applied by all staff consistently. The system gives students the chance to behave. If students choose not to behave, they will be given a chance (first warning) - students will be reminded by the teacher of the high expectations for behaviour. If poor behaviour persists, students will be given a choice (second warning and the choice to make the right decision and follow the school behaviour expectations). If poor behaviour still persists, then students will be given a consequence and 'on call' will be notified and the student will be moved to either the Faculty Shadow Room to work in silence for the remainder of the lesson, or in some circumstances Return to Learn (R2L). Students will be expected to work quietly and independently within R2L. Any student sent to R2L will remain in school until 4pm that same day, and parents will be informed. Any student sent who is removed from a lesson by ‘on call’ will be issued with a centralised detention and parents will be notified via our online communication portal Edulink.

Persistent or serious behaviour will result in more serious consequences such as an SLT two hour detention on either Wednesday or Thursday, internal suspension (until 4pm), fixed term external suspensions, or permanent exclusions.

Whilst all disciplinary matters are dealt with on their individual merits, we aim to be fair with consequences and would emphasise our expectations of your support.
