Behaviour Policy

We have high expectations about behaviour and conduct in our academy. Good behaviour promotes good learning.

We believe that young people learn best when they are clear about what is expected of them and are clear about what they are supposed to do. Having a consistent approach throughout the academy means that children are fully aware of what is expected.

The entire academy community – children, staff, parents and visitors – is expected to abide by our Code of Conduct.
