Student Support
Behaviour for Learning - Rewards System
Our rewards system is designed to be a counter balance to our robust behaviour policy. Students are to
be rewarded for making the right choices and fulfilling their responsibilities in the same way that sanctions
are applied when incorrect choices are made. We want our students to feel that staff appreciate their cooperation
and determination to meet our high standards. Staff are therefore encouraged to use praise and
positive language in order to build self-esteem and to reinforce the consequences of making good choices.
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
Assistant Head of Year 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teaching four times they will be withdrawn from the lesson.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staff to the Responsibility for Learning Room and will stay there for the lesson they were withdrawn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. The student will then complete a 30 minute detention after school that day and a 15 minute detention
as arranged by 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.
