Code of Conduct

• School is the place you come to work; make sure you do your best.
• Never prevent other pupils from learning, instead try to help them.
• Listen to all members of staff (teachers, house staff, office staff, caterers, cleaners, grounds staff, maintenance staff, caretaker and drivers) so that the school can be a happy place for everyone.
• Listen to other pupils.  Let them finish speaking before adding your own opinions to the discussion.
• Treat one another with politeness, courtesy and respect.  Everyone is expected to act in a non-aggressive and non-threatening manner.
• Do not use language which is abusive, offensive or rude, shout, call out, interrupt or answer back.
• If you feel intimidated, say so.  If you see someone intimidating someone else, tell an adult.
• Care for and look after the school, all equipment and the campus.
• Take care.  Think about your own safety and that of others.
• Walk sensibly around the school and do not run inside school buildings.
• Wear the correct school uniform and keep both it and yourself neat, tidy and clean.
• Remember to take all the correct equipment to your lessons.
• Do not use forgetfulness as an excuse.  Try to be organised.
• Be punctual to all lessons; if you arrive late, do not interrupt the lesson as you enter the room.  Settle quickly and quietly to the task.
• Complete all prep. and hand it in on time.
• If you are not sure about something, ask a member of staff for help.  If you have a problem, say so and ask for help to solve it.
• If you do something wrong, own up.  This shows, self-respect, honesty and trustworthiness.  We can then work together to put things right.
