Respect & Expectations
Academy Standards
Effective learning and teaching can only take place in an environment which is caring and safe and where there are high expectations for all, regarding appearance, conduct and behaviour. To help create such an environment for the benefit of every student we have constructed these rules.
Responsibility
- We encourage young people to take personal responsibility for their learning. We expect students to take responsibility for their behaviour and their punctuality and attendance. All members of the Academy should demonstrate a polite and considerate manner at all times.
- It is further expected that students will behave appropriately when travelling to and from the Academy, and when on visits, trips or other events as part of an Academy activity.
Personal Appearance
- Personal appearance plays a significant role in creating a positive learning environment. All members of the Academy should, therefore, take significant care over their appearance.
- Students must adhere to the Academy rules relating to uniform in general and specific codes for specialist activities, including sport.
Conduct in and around the Academy
- Students, staff or visitors are not permitted to smoke in any part of the Academy or its grounds.
- Students must stay in the Academy or its grounds during the course of the day unless a written request for permission to be absent has been received from parent and granted by the Principal or his representative.
- Students must observe the Academy safe movement rules and any areas of grounds designated “out of bounds.” N.B. This includes not using the rear entrance of the Academy on foot or in vehicles, as this is designated for deliveries and access to Cabot Close only.
- Food and drink may only be consumed in the dining hall and cafeteria area.
- Students should move in a quiet and orderly manner around the Academy with due consideration for others.
- All members of the Academy are expected to respect the person, beliefs and property of other members.
When we all seek to abide by these standards; a safe, caring and disciplined environment can be enjoyed by all.
Persistent or serious breaches of these basic rules of good conduct may result in the removal of the individual from the Academy.
