Westminster AcademySupport structures for pupils causing concernStructures exist within the school to support pupils whose behaviour iscausing concern. Referral to these areas of support is via the tutor and in allcases parental involvement is essential.Procedures for dealing with unacceptable behaviourIt is the responsibility of subject teachers to deal with minor incidents whichoccur in the classroom.More serious incidents can be dealt with by the teacher with support fromthe Head of Department, but must also be recorded on SIMS.Year Co-ordinators will become involved if a student‟s behaviour is causingconcern in a number of subject areas. They may then log all incidents andtake appropriate action. They are also responsible for dealing with seriousincidents which are likely to result in exclusions.The Behaviour Monitor and Assistant Behaviour Monitor together with theBehaviour for Learning Lead are available throughout the day to removepupils from lessons where there is serious disruption. Subject teachersshould telephone reception on 3030 or send a sensible student to receptionwho will contact the behaviour monitor on duty.
