Student Support
Ready to Learn Card
To ensure standards of uniform are maintained, each student will carry a Ready to Learn Card. If uniform
is being worn incorrectly or make up or jewellery worn, a member of staff will sign and date the card. If
the card is signed three times, a detention will be arranged by the student’s Behaviour & Welfare Officer.
Students must present their Ready to Learn Card daily - failure to do so will result in a detention with
the form tutor.
Uniform Agreement Card
If a student has a serious issue with uniform, such as the need for a new pair of shoes, the tutor or
Behaviour & Welfare Officer will issue a ‘Uniform Agreement Card’. This card clearly states the issue and
the date by which the matter will be expected to be resolved.
Responsibility for Learning Room
If a student chooses to disrupt the learning of others, not engage in learning or stops the teacher from
teaching four times they will be withdrawn from the lesson. The student will be taken by a member of
staff to the Responsibility for Learning Room and will stay there for the lesson they were withdrawn from
and the following lesson (including break and lunchtime). The student will then complete a one hour
detention after school that day and a 20 minute detention the following Monday with the teacher who
issued the S4.
Mobile Phones
Students may bring mobile phones to school but they are to be kept out of sight throughout the entire
day including when leaving the building. Any student using a mobile phone on the school premises will
have it confiscated for the day. The second time a phone is confiscated, Parents/guardians will be asked
to collect mobile phones. Should a student continue to use their phone it will be confiscated until the
end of the week.
