School Rules and Classroom Expectations

Attitude + Attendance + Appearance = Attainment

• A classroom is a place of learning; we enter in an orderly fashion and take care of the classroom equipment.
• We come to lessons properly equipped, prepared to work and in uniform.
• We speak kindly and respectfully to each other.
• When we need help, we ask by raising our hands.
• We follow the instructions of staff for our learning and our safety.

Our Expectations

• We should raise our hand and wait to be asked when asking or answering a question.
• We should stop what we are doing and pay attention when a teacher talks to us.
• We should not eat in lessons or take any action which might distract ourselves or others.
• If we arrive late we should explain why and expect to be detained if we have no good reason.
