At Walton-le-Dale we believe that every student has the right to learn. We have developed a Code of Conduct which is based on the 'Walton-le-dale Values'. Our 'Behaviour for Learning' policy emphasises the need for each individual to take responsibility for their behaviour and to support the learning of others. In classrooms we have developed a set of routines which helps each group to focus clearly on being ready for learning. The school has a comprehensive set of rewards which are given to students who excel or improve their learning. Departments celebrate achievement through certificates and 'Student of the Month'. Students also receive merits and commendations which contribute to different levels of school certificates. These certificates also lead to school rewards and prizes. There are occasions when we have to apply sanctions. This can take the form of additional work, being on report and detentions. Parents are kept informed of such sanctions. In the case of after-school detentions parents are given 24 hours notice. On very rare occasions staff may need to intervene in a situation where another person might be at risk of hurting themselves or others. On such occasions it may be necessary to make physical contact with the student. In such circumstances staff will follow the school's policy on the use of reasonable force. A copy of this policy is available from school. The acceptance of a place at Walton-le-Dale Arts College & High School also means acceptance of the school rules and its disciplinary procedures. |
