Behaviour Policy - St Paul's School for Girls

Racism: if allegations are confirmed, parental
involvement, expectation of apology, racist
behaviour recorded and other sanctions
applied.
The table above shows only the sanctions considered appropriate to various offences,
but other more supportive actions may be desirable and indeed necessary, these are as
follows :
Formation Tutor/Pastoral Leader/Learning Mentor/Leadership Team talking with pupil to
explore reasons for misbehaviour;
Referral to School Chaplain to talk things over with a ‘neutral observer’;
Referral through Pastoral Leader or Leadership Team to agencies such as Education
Social Worker, Educational Psychologist, Behaviour Support, Social Care and Health;
Possible SEN support if bad behaviour stems mainly from a learning difficulty, and
certainly in such a case increased differentiation in curriculum.
It is vital that time is spent rewarding good pupils as well as punishing erring ones, and there
will be a danger of depressing the morale of the majority of pupils.
Guidance for staff and processes regarding the issuing of blue concern sheets
Any member of staff may issue a blue concern sheet. However, non teaching staff such as
Teaching Assistants, Learning Mentors and Librarians usually discuss their concerns with the
appropriate Pastoral and Curriculum Leaders and then issue a blue form as appropriate.
Dinner Supervisors and office staff will usually speak to the appropriate Pastoral Leader when
they have an issue of concern.
Blue Concern Sheets KS3 and 4:
All blue concern sheets will be recorded on pupil file according to the category of their
misdemeanour.
3 Blue Concern sheets across subject areas will trigger parental contact from HOY
HOD must keep a record of the names of pupils issued with blue sheets. If the same
pupil has had 3 blue sheets the HOD must speak to the HOY and if appropriate, send a
letter home.
Referral Process:
There must always be a comment in the Homework Diary FIRST before a blue concern
sheet is issued.
The pupil must be told why she has been issued with a concern sheet
What has been done previously must be recorded on the sheet
