CHARD SCHOOL - CODE OF CONDUCT

CHARD SCHOOL - CODE OF CONDUCT

All members of the school are expected to act with courtesy and consideration to others at all times.

This means being punctual and arriving at lesson properly equipped. During lessons all are expected to be attentive, co-operative and orderly. Movement about the school should be quiet and mannerly, being always mindful of the needs and safety of others. Courtesy towards staff and visitors should be shown in movement around the school, and classes should stand when a visitor enters the classroom. The same standards are expected at assembly or when participating in any school event, as well as when traveling to and from school.

Personal appearance should reflect pride in self and school, with uniform worn to create an appearance of smartness.

Bullying and verbal abuse are never acceptable.

The school buildings, grounds and property should be treated with respect. This means putting litter into bins and taking no action that makes the school environment less pleasant. The same respect must be shown towards the personal property of others.

Nothing should be brought into school that is harmful or offensive either to yourself or to others.

The Code of Conduct is supported by specific school rules and by rewards and sanctions.

Following the Code of Conduct creates for all a pleasant community and an effective learning environment.
