Rogers House Discipline Policy
All boys in Rogers House are expected to behave and interact in a well mannered, pleasant and cooperative manner.
They are required to take full responsibility for their actions. Other boys and staff should not have their daily routine
interrupted by unacceptable behaviour. We want Rogers House to have a happy and relaxed atmosphere in which all boys
can go about their business effectively and confidently.
To enable this to occur, the following discipline policy will apply;
Any boy behaving inappropriately will have a relevant comment placed in the Discipline Log by the Master concerned.
He will then serve an afternoon detention between 4pm and5 pm on the next available day. During this time he will be
required to complete a Behaviour Reflection sheet which will be retained on his file. He will also be required to do duties
around the House and/or write out lines.
Three negative comments over a four week period or less will result in a weekly detention involving which involves the
loss of free time between 4pm and 5pm each day from Monday to Thursday.
A second group of three comments in a term will result in a Saturday Detention involving the loss of free time and
exclusion from activities for the whole day.
At this stage the boy will be required to attend a meeting with the Dean of Students to discuss his behaviour.
Occurrences of seriously inappropriate behaviour may lead directly to the Saturday Detention/ Dean of Students stage.
House activities and excursions now require the completion of a Risk Assessment. Boys who have demonstrated that
their behaviour puts them in the category of a ‘risk to effective completion of the activity for the group’ may have to be
excluded until their behaviour improves.
On a more positive note a Matron’s Weekly Award trophy has been introduced to reward responsible behaviour and/or
improved effort.
