Code of conduct

The students have a right:	And a matching responsibility:
To a fresh start, the past is history and the future is sunny	To lay aside all prejudices and bad experiences and trust us that we can and do want to help you
To be supported as you take the risk of changing your life and behaviour	To work with us and not against us and to make a serious commitment to change for the better
To an environment in which you can learn, which is warm, ventilated, light and has enough space to work	To care for the environment and to play your part in keeping it clean and tidy both for yourself and others
Not to be bullied either emotionally or physically	To be supportive of each other
To learn without your work being interfered with or put down by others	To respect other people's work and efforts
To respect and fair treatment by staff and other students	To be courteous and considerate to staff and other students
To have your voice heard and to be treated with sensitivity as a unique person who from time to time may need a listening ear	To speak up when you have a problem. We cannot help you when you keep things bottled up inside
To be listened to as someone whose opinions are worth hearing and whose suggestions will be treated sympathetically and not put down or ridiculed	To listen to others and give them a fair turn and to be sensitive to shy people who find it difficult to speak in front of others
Not to be compared unfavourably with others but to be esteemed as a unique individual in your own right	To show equal respect for the rights of others
To keep the basic rules and guidelines both in the letter and the spirit	To have the basic rules and guidelines for safe and acceptable behaviour explained to you
To be treated consistently and fairly and to be allowed to ask questions when you don't understand things	To speak up when you don't understand and allow others to do so
To be given opportunities to take responsibility and show initiative within a context of appropriate accountability and guidelines	To do your best to rise to the challenge of new responsibilities and opportunities
To aim high, think big and dream dreams as someone who has the potential to make a real contribution to the future of the School and to society	Not to put yourself down
To be taught in a way which is helpful for you, which is at the right level and which will motivate you and help you to take responsibility for your own learning	To do your best in lessons and complete your homework to the best of your ability
To be encouraged and helped but not forced to overcome problems which at the time may seem to you to be insurmountable	To trust in the support of the staff and try really hard to tackle problems
To be helped to make up for the lost time and gaps in your education	To be prompt in attending classes and be well prepared for lessons
To be protected from false accusations by the wider community	To stay within the confines of the school grounds
