CODE OF CONDUCT

As a member of the school community, you are expected to follow the school values of Be Brilliant, Be Challengers,
Be Curious, Be Kind and Be You, and behave with courtesy, consideration and common sense at all times.

Courtesy
You should behave with respect towards all members of the school. Fellow pupils, teachers, matrons, minibus
drivers, shop, domestic, office, cleaning and ground staff are all equally important to the school and deserve your
respect. Good manners are expected at all times. Be courteous.

Consideration
Behave towards others as you hope they would behave towards you. Whatever you do, think first how you would
feel if it happened to you. Be considerate.

Common Sense
A few written rules are necessary to any community, but for the most part common sense will tell you whether
something is all right or not. Be sensible.

RULES

The following offences will automatically be reported to your Group Tutor, Head of Year, Houseparent and the
Deputy Head and action will be taken at the appropriate level.

• Use of offensive language
• Bullying or unpleasant teasing
• Stealing (or “borrowing” without permission)
• Wilful damage to school or other property
• Any action causing danger to yourself or others

The Head will be informed of all incidents of poor behaviour and will request to see pupils when necessary. Any
serious breach of conduct could result in a period of suspension and ultimately in being asked to leave the school.
