Behaviour and consequences
We encourage all students to manage their own behaviour. If students are not meeting expectations, we have a very clear and straightforward consequence system in place We keep a log of any behaviour concerns and we will call parents in for a meeting if we do have any concerns. We do have a very strong pastoral team to ensure students are fully supported with any behaviour issues. If you do have any concerns regarding your child’s behaviour, please contact their Head of Year or progress leader (-see pastoral care link)
