Standards of Behaviour

We hope that your young person is settling in well at College. Attendance and behaviour are of high importance to us, and positive behaviour and attendance will help your child to succeed in their studies. We have put together a guide explain our behaviour management policy to support your child throughout their time at College.

Students will be issues with different cards depending on their attitude, behaviour and attendance whilst studying with us.
  

  
  

Positive Behaviour Card


These cards will be handed out to reward positive behaviour. We believe every day is a fresh start and all students have the opportunity to receive a positive behaviour card. These on the spot reward cards will be handed out on the street and in the classroom for positive behaviour. If they receive 3 cards, they can be exchanged at the College canteen for a free breakfast bun!
  
  
  
  

Yellow Card


Yellow cards are warning cards that will be handed out to students who have poor behaviour. Examples of misconduct include*:
  
  • Inappropriate language
  • Inappropriate behaviour

Red cards are given out in extreme circumstances for gross misconduct and will result in a panel hearing. Examples of gross misconduct include:
  
  • Violence
  • Weapons
  • Sexual harassment
