Partnership Agreement for Senior Pupils 

As pupils progress through the school it is expected that they will develop the social and 

personal skills which will enable them to assume more responsibility for their own learning 

and their own behaviour. For those who opt to return to school beyond Fourth Year, these 

conditions are set out in a partnership agreement, which identifies the responsibilities of the 

school and of the student. The details are contained in the Senior Planner. 

The commitment from the school covers: 

‣ Entitlement to an appropriate curriculum 

‣ Access to high quality careers guidance 

‣ Opportunities for personal development 

The student is expected: 

‣ To make an educational commitment to work towards agreed targets, enshrined 

in a Personal Development Plan 

‣ To make a personal commitment to behave in a responsible way 

‣ To maintain high standards as a role model for younger pupils (this includes 

punctuality, attendance and behaviour) 

‣ To maintain good relationships with the rest of the School community 

‣ To play an active and leading part in the life of the School as Prefects, House 

Captains, members of the school Council, the S6 Charity, school Action groups, 

sporting teams and community involvement. 

Personal Development Plan for S6 Pupils 

Pupils returning to S6 are expected to negotiate a Personal Development Plan (PDP) with 

their Head of House. This PDP will shape their academic and personal development 

throughout the year and provide opportunities for a range of experiences both within school 

and outside. All Plans should include: 

• a significant academic challenge 

• a community involvement challenge 

• an enterprise challenge 

• a physical challenge 

In addition, pupils are expected to participate meaningfully in the school’s activities 

throughout S6 by playing a full and active part in S6 PSHE and maintaining a Citizenship 

Profile, which will chart involvement in activities and which will also record any notable 

achievements gained throughout the year – whether in school, or in the wider community.

Appendix VIII - Behaviour Management 

To influence the emotional development of all pupils by fostering an atmosphere of diligence, 

tolerance, co-operation and mutual respect at all levels within the School. 

The above aim of the school summarises the principles on which the school’s promoting 

positive behaviour policy is based. Key elements of this are: 

‣ Fostering good relationships within the school and with parents and the wider 

community 

‣ Ensuring staff have clear and concise expectations of pupils and use positive 

encouragement of appropriate behaviour 

‣ Promoting good communication within the school, leading to an early identification of 

potential problems for individual and groups of pupils 

‣ Promoting good communication with parents and early involvement of parents, should 

problems arise 

‣ Deploying sanctions for inappropriate behaviour which are effective and fair 

‣ Reforming pupil behaviour 

‣ Restoring relationships between pupils, where there have been tensions. 

Details of the Code of Conduct, Rules and sanctions are given below. 

Classroom Ground Rules and the Ready Routine 

In Session 0708 Rules for Behaviour in Classrooms were written and discussed with the Pupil 

Councils. When a review of the behaviour management system was conducted it was felt 

that there were too many rules for pupils to remember and they needed to be simplified into 

five basic Classroom Ground Rules that pupils could easily identify with and remember. 

Classroom Ground Rules 

1. Arrive on time in an orderly manner, properly prepared for learning 

2. Follow teacher’s directions immediately 

3. Keep hands, feet and unkind words to yourself 

4. Listen to the person who is meant to be talking and treat others with respect 

5. Take care of materials, equipment and the environment 

As well has having Classroom Ground Rules it was felt that a Ready Routine would assist 

pupils to get organised at the start of lessons and allow teachers to make a prompt start. 

Resources out 

Ready Routine 

Electronics and edibles away 

All coats and bags off 

Diaries out 

You’re ready!

Additional specific rules apply in areas such as labs, workshops, corridors, school grounds, 

sporting and catering facilities. These include health and safety requirements. 

Corridors and School Grounds 

In moving around the school and its grounds you should: 

‣ Behave in a way which ensures your safety and the safety of others 

‣ Respect others in the school who are working quietly 

‣ Avoid clearly indicated areas which are out of bounds, often for health and safety 

reasons, including all roofs. 

‣ Always walk quietly on the left in corridors and on stairs, leaving room for those 

coming in the opposite direction 

‣ Treat your fellow pupils with respect and avoid anti-social and selfish behaviour 

such as pushing, jostling and spitting 

‣ When travelling to classes at the change of periods all electronic equipment, 

including mobile phones and iPods, should be put into blazer pockets or bags. 

‣ It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain the buildings and grounds in excellent 

condition. This means that: 

• all litter must be placed in bins 

• food and drink may be consumed only in the Refectory, the Atrium, the 

playground or the S6 study room and not inside the buildings 

• any instances of vandalism must be reported immediately 

Outwith the School 

‣ Wear school uniform when travelling to and from school and arrive in good time 

‣ Always behave in a polite and considerate way when you come into contact with 

members of the public 

‣ Care for the environment through which you pass e.g. put any litter in the nearest 

bin and avoid any prohibited areas 

Sanctions 

It is the school’s policy to provide positive encouragement and recognition to pupils who 

abide by the code of conduct and the subsequent rules. Equally, it is recognised that there 

are occasions when sanctions have to be applied and it is the School’s policy to take the 

minimum action required to be effective in promoting positive behaviour. This flexibility is 

particularly important because of the age range of the pupils in Jordanhill School. 

The sanctions which may be used are shown on the following page. Please note that, with 

the exception of the first and the last three items, the list is not hierarchical.

Interventions 

The table below summarises the sanctions which may be used. As exemplified in this table, 

emphasis is placed upon informing parents of problems at an early stage. Please note that, 

with the exception of the first and the last three items, the list is not hierarchical. This model 

has been constructed on the basis:

Key to Symbols: 

Asterisks (**) have been inserted instead of figures for some schools and categories: 

• Counts and percentages based on data for more than 0 but fewer than 5 pupils, because they could be 

misleading or lead to the identification of individuals. 

• In other cases, it is not possible for the school to have any data for the category, for example, cases 

where the relevant year group roll figure is zero. 

The symbol (##) indicates that the school has recently opened or merged with another school and this 

information is not available.
