Credits

Assemblies are used to praise the pupils and award them accordingly. A conduct mark will be given for poor behaviour, noncompletion of homework, lateness etc. If a pupil receives more than five conduct marks in a half term he/she will be places on a forn tutor report and home will be informed. If the situation does not improve the pupil will be placed on Head of Year report and failure to comply will result in far more serious sanctions, e.g after school detention. Only in extreme circumstances will a pupil be excluded from school.
