Behaviour

Promoting good behaviour...

Our Behaviour and Discipline Policy aims to create conditions for a relaxed, pleasant school atmosphere in which students are able to maximise their achievement in a supportive and caring environment.

We understand that there are many reasons why students might misbehave, including boredom, lack of understanding, or personal issues. It is therefore, important that we determine the reasons for a student’s inappropriate behaviour, that the school provides an appropriate and relevant curriculum and that we adopt inspiring and motivating teaching methods in order to engage students.

The attitude of all staff in the disciplinary process is of great importance. In all cases, they will ensure they:

• Work together with other staff at all levels of student contact, from Student Progress Leaders to Deputy Heads, to get to the root of the problem
• Establish an environment in which good staff/student working relationships develop
• Use sensitivity and tact in all cases and build on their teaching skills and rapport with students to tackle any behavioural problems
• Set positive examples to students in matters of punctuality, commitment and behaviour.

The Tong High School Code of Conduct can be found in our Behaviour and Discipline Policy.
