The School has a clear and firm stance on all forms of antisocial behaviour as it will impact on the academic and social well being of others.

As a community we expect all to share our values and act appropriately. Work hard to ensure that all in the school develop a set of personal values based on honesty, understanding, and respect.

To prevent bullying, racism, sexism and other forms of negative conduct:

• we enforce a very tight Behaviour for Learning Policy which all staff and students work to. This has explicit expectations and linked consequences for poor behaviour.

 
• we deliver specific Citizenship curriculum experiences and Tutorial work that counters views that bullying, racism and sexism are an inevitable part of life.

 
• all adults model the behaviour for learning that they expect of students

 
• all incidents of anti social behaviour are reported and the Learning Support Caseworkers intervene to ensue that no repeat behaviour occurs. Students may be given a strong verbal warning by a Senior member of staff, asked to work through the impact of their conduct with the victim or face a more formal consequence. This will range from a detention, a period of time in isolation to fixed term exclusion.

 

All students are listened to and their experiences taken seriously.
