SCHOOL RULES

We try to keep these to the minimum necessary to keep pupils safe and to gain a satisfactory level of conduct. The reasons for this can be seen in the aims of the school set out in the School Brochure. The main concern of all staff is to instill a sense of self- discipline and good moral standards in all pupils.

The following list summarises the consensus of views of Parents, Teachers, School Governors and the Pupils themselves towards the necessary standards that are required:-

We expect respect for adults and for one pupil to another at all times and strongly discourage cheek, bad language or unsociable behaviour.

For safety reasons and to foster a purposeful approach to work in the classroom without distraction, personal adornments such as jewellery, make-up, nail varnish and unsuitable or outlandish clothing or hairstyles are not considered appropriate.

Pupils will be expected to conduct themselves in the school and on the journey to and from school in an orderly manner at all times giving due consideration to the rights of others.

Proper regard for other people’s property and the general well being of the school building and equipment in it, will be anticipated.

The use of personal effects, electronic, or radio recording equipment or any other item of value which might become damaged or may form a nuisance to others is not allowed in school. However, they may be used on school transport, or on visits with prior permission. These must be handed in to a member of staff if they are brought into school.

Eating in the lesson time is not allowed, nor is the eating of ‘chewing’ or ‘bubble’ gum allowed at any time as this has a tendency to be unsociable when discarded.

All playtime or recreational/leisure activities should be undertaken in a friendly cooperative manner. Aggressive, physically dangerous or ill-mannered conduct is considered unacceptable.

In the interests of health and safety, the School has a total Non-smoking policy which is the same for adults and pupils.

Certain rules such as not entering the Hall, Workshops or Activity Play Area without permission and supervision are made for the safety of all pupils. All pupils will be informed of the areas in school which are ‘out of bounds’ and no pupil will be allowed to leave the school premises without permission or supervision.
