Behaviour

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of behaviour, ensuring every child can learn in a safe, respectful and focused environment.

We are committed to the very highest standards of behaviour. We will stop at nothing to fulfil our promise that no child’s progress will ever be negatively impacted by the behaviour of others. It is every child’s right to study in an environment that is safe, respectful and purposeful.

Where pupils are unable to adhere to these expectations, there will be both sanction and support. The school believes sanctions help students to understand that they have fallen below our expectations and we believe that with our support they will be able to better shape their future choices.
