10 day Behaviour Focus
From the 1st February to 12th February 2016 we will be having a further push on improving behaviour and attitudes to learning across the school. The journey continues in our mission to achieve the highest possible standards, ultimately improving progress and attainment.
During the 10 day focus, if any student has caused disruption to the learning to the extent where they have been removed from the classroom in accordance with the Behaviour For Learning steps then they will be required to complete a one hour detention on the same evening. A text message will be sent to inform parents/carers of this.
Within the Behaviour Policy there is the following section on detentions:

Detentions will be imposed when other behaviour management tools have been unsuccessful. Teachers will use detention time to conduct restorative conversations.
Parents and carers should note that:
