Behaviour for Learning

We are committed to creating a safe, calm and happy school environment. All students are expected to meet our 'Set for Success' expectations and to follow our routines for learning. These are communicated with students at the start of every week in tutor time and are enforced by all staff consistently. We ask parents and carers to support us by using the Class Charts Parent App. Click here for more information.

Persistent negative behaviour is sanctioned with:

Attitudes to Learning

Students are expected to demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning, and develop as confident learners, confident communicators and confident future citizens. They do this by aiming high, developing creative thinking, independence, and teamwork skills. They are encouraged to show compassion, respect, responsibility, and resilience.  Student’s attitudes are graded by their teachers twice a year and reported to parents.

We use the Character Framework:
