To contribute to mutual respect.

Principles/Objectives

To challenge inappropriate behaviour that undermines the learning environment.

To develop in students a responsibility for their own behaviour, especially where it impacts on the learning of others.

To create an ethos whereby all staff are able to deliver lessons effectively.

Procedures

 * Staff, Parents and Students accept the Academies Home Academy Agreement.

 * A copy of the Home Academy Agreement is signed on the first Review Day in September by parents / guardians.

 * All staff are responsible for implementing the Home Academy Agreement.

 * Staff must be sure they have followed correct procedure before referring students to the Head of Department [HOD] or Learning Manager [LM.]

 * Staff should deal with incidents in the classroom in the first instance. Sleuths must be completed on E-portal before the end of the lesson, and or the end of the Academy day.

 * All incidents are referred to HOD using 'Events' in E-portal.

 * Concerns over individual students should be shared with both the HOD in order that support packages can be put in place, and the Form Tutor [FT] who will liaise with the LM.

 * More serious behavioural incidents need to be referred to the LM as soon as possible, and then entered into E-portal.

 * Parents will be involved in the re-integration of students returning after serious incidents

* A weekly Behaviour for Learning [BFL] focus will be shared with both staff and students to ensure a consistent approach. The aim of the BFL is to focus on a certain aspect of behaviour that has a negative impact on the teaching and learning that takes place in a lesson. Students achieving the BFL focus for the lesson receive a stamp as a reward.
