School Rules
1. Around the School
Always try to consider others - even if you think they are not being very considerate to you. So: -
- Be polite
- Be kind
- Stay calm
- Say nice thing
2. In the Classroom
You are in school to learn, so behave in a way that allows this to happen. So: -
- bring the right equipment to your lessons;
- check you have all you need before leaving home;
- carry out instructions quickly and sensibly;
- allow other children to keep working;
- always talk quietly;
- make sure homework is finished and handed in on time
3. The School Site
Cared for surroundings make life more pleasant for everyone so look after the school and its equipment. So: -
- use furniture for its proper use
- leave rooms tidy at the end of a lesson
- always put litter in bins
- always leave equipment tidy in its correct place
4. Health and Safety
Do not do anything which puts at risk your own or other people’s health and safety. So:-
- always cross Sharmans Cross Road with the crossing warden
- keep away from the vehicle drives and car parks
- always walk inside the school building
- if your ears are pierced, only wear studs
- do not wear jewellery, nail varnish or make up to school
- sweets and chewing gum must not be brought to school
- never throw snowballs in the school grounds or outside on the footpath
- always come back into school if you are not met at the right time after school
- report anything that you feel is unsafe
5. Care of Your Property
If you lose things it causes trouble for you, extra expense for your parents and extra work for teachers. So: -
- leave valuables (including toys) at home
- make sure clothing, bags and lunch boxes have your name clearly marked
- always hand in items to your teacher for safe keeping
- only children accompanied by a parent can bring a bicycle to school
- money must always be brought in an envelope marked with your name and class
6. How Others see Us
We are responsible for you not only whilst you are in school but also during your journey to and from school. This means the school gets blamed if you misbehave, so please bear this in mind. So: -
- always wear the correct school uniform
- always be polite
- talk sensibly to each other at an appropriate volume
- be helpful to visitors and other users of the school site.
7. MOBILE PHONES
As a school, we strongly recommend that children in Y3 and Y4 are collected from school by a responsible adult. As this is the case, we see no reason for a child in either year group to bring a mobile phone to school. We recognise that children in Y5 and Y6 may be given the responsibility of going home alone. We appreciate therefore that parents and child may be reassured by the presence of a mobile phone. In this case, children may bring a mobile phone with them onto the school site.
However, given access to landlines, there is no need at all for children to have their mobile phones either to hand or switched on whilst on site. They should be kept switched off and out of sight at all times. Should a child be found with a mobile phone in hand, for whatever reason, including photography or any other application, the phone will be confiscated and parents asked to come in and collect it from either the Head or the Deputy Head Teacher.
Mobile phones are not allowed on residential trips at all.
Please note that the school can accept no responsibility for the safety of personal property and children bring such items at their own risk.
