Our Reward Milestones

Text

Text

We have a strong pastoral team who work closely with external agencies in supporting individuals where this is appropriate.

For students who experience difficulty working within the guidelines, a variety of strategies are employed. These can range from a  loss of break-time for minor offences to after school detention of varying lengths dependent on the severity of the offence. This will be communicated via Arbor.  Each day we have a 30 minute same day late detention for those students who have been late across the school day. 

 

Reset room

Our Internal exclusion is known as the Reset Room and used when students do not meet our key expectations, serious behaviour concerns or repeated poor behaviour. The student will spend a day completing work in the Reset Room supervised by a member of staff. The Reset Room is an opportunity to reflect and look at interventions to support positive outcomes in classes. 

Students who need support with their behaviour work closely with their tutors, subject teachers, Directors of Progress and Achievement (DOPAs) and the rest of the pastoral team to set targets to allow them to make progress and think about their learning and the learning of those around them.

 

Suspension

Suspension from school will occur if a student commits a serious offence on the school premises from a serious breach of school discipline, abuse of staff, assault on a fellow student or a student committing a criminal offence during school hours.

In line with Department for Education (DfE) guidelines, a student may be issued a suspension for the following reasons:

  • Persistent disruptive behaviour

  • Physical assault

  • Verbal abuse or threatening behaviour

  • Use or threat of use of an offensive weapon or a prohibited item 

  • Bullying

  • Racist abuse or discrimination including any behaviour that breaches the Equality Act 2010 regarding protected characteristics

  • Sexual misconduct

  • Damage to property

  • Theft

  • Drug and alcohol related incidents

  • Inappropriate use of social media or online pathways

This list is not exhaustive and is intended to offer examples rather than be complete or definitive.

A suspension may be used to provide a clear signal of what is unacceptable behaviour as part of the school’s behaviour policy and show a student that their current behaviour is putting them at risk of permanent exclusion. 

All parents of a student suspended from school have the right of appeal to the Chair of Governors if they think the suspension is unreasonable. A parent/staff meeting must take place prior to the student’s return to school.
