Staff Handbook 2018 - 2019 FINAL

Change – this is effectively a second warning but may be accompanied by a change within the classroom e.g. a change
of seat. The behaviour of the student is expected to change and this will be recorded on a whiteboard and in
Go4Schools.
Sanction – if the students’ behaviour does not change he/she will be given a lunchtime detention to be administered
centrally.
A detention issued in Sessions 1 and 2 will take place that lunchtime. If issued in Sessions 3 or 4 it will take place the
following lunchtime.
To issue a detention staff must:‐
Notify A16 office using GO4Schools
Place a sticker in the students’ organiser
For severe incidents: serious defiance, disruption, swearing directly at the teacher or dangerous behaviour a student
can receive a ‘red’ card. This signals that the WCS system does not apply in this situation and that they will be
immediately removed by ‘on call’ and taken to either a Sixth Form lesson or the Exclusion Room.
This system is to be used to support classroom management. Ultimately classroom behaviour must remain a
teachers/tutors responsibility.
Break and lunchtime rota
You are entitled to one lunch break during the day. All teaching staff are required to complete a statutory break duty
once per week. The break time duty rota will tell you where and when you are expected to be on duty that day, you
may be asked to go on duty at the end of the day. Please arrive at your duty punctually, if an incident occurs and you
are not at your post this could be very serious. Your duty team leader will brief you on expectations but if you are out
of school for a meeting or training, it is your responsibility to ensure that you find a replacement and inform your duty
team leader. Staff who wish to commit to a paid lunchtime duty need to speak to Claire Franklin, Rachael Chadwick or
Sarah Trueman.
Please make sure you ask for guidance on the expectations of your conduct and duties during these important
sessions.
Bury Schools Partnership
The Bury Schools Partnership is a network of schools working together to give the best possible opportunities to
children and young people and we have a close relationship with all 13 primary schools within the partnership.

Cash in school
The following procedures are for the safe and accurate collection and processing of all money coming into the school
with, or for, the students. These guidelines are for the protection of staff, and cover legally required proceedings.
