Behaviour is about choice. We believe that all members of our community choose how to behave and that it is everyone’s job to support our students in making positive choices. Good behaviour is about respect and good behaviour for learning is about having the right attitude to learning. As a staff team and student body we need to work together to ensure respect is shown and students have the right attitude to their studies. We know that the best way to improve behaviour and behaviour for learning is by forming positive relationships with students, by planning and teaching good lessons, by having hi8gh expectations and clear routines in all classes and by rewarding students for good behaviour and for making progress. Our student mission, ‘Aim High, Work Hard, Be Kind’ captures our key aims for every student. We aim to give every student the opportunity to access to a varied, rich curriculum to maximise their potential and ensure their future success.

At Marriottswe employ a systematic approach to dealing with disruption to teaching and learning, to ensure that lesson flow is not impacted. Our goal is to ensure all students remain in lessons so their learning is not impeded. All teachers are responsible for managing the behaviour of their classes and ensuring they have the right attitude to learning and all staff must employ our consistent behaviour management strategies.Occasionally it may be necessary to remove a student due to disruption of teaching and learning. Teachers need to be able to teach and one student cannot be allowed to impact on the learning of others. There is a staged response to effectively dealing with incidents of this nature with a reflective and reparative procedure for staff and students.

The introduction of the Student Charter and Noise Level Meter should be followed at all times to ensure students learn and behave well in lessons. These documents are displayed in each classroom and in all open areas of the school and are central to our school’s ethos

Faculty Removal

Faculty Removal is designed as a short term measure for students who have received 3 clear, discreet warnings, and where behaviour management techniques, strategies and de-escalation attempts have failed and teaching and learning of the whole class is being impacted. Students will be removed within the faculty area according to a shadow timetable, with their work and will complete a 30 minute, same day detention as a sanction for this behaviour. The member of staff where the removal originated is required to attend the detention after school to discuss and rebuild the relationship before the next lesson.

On-call

On rare occasions there may be a one off serious incident which will require a student to be immediately removed from your lesson. This would lead to an ’On-call’ removal . In this situation Students will be removed from the school community, placed in the Reflection Room and their school day will be extended by 60 minutes

On –call will result if students displayone of the following behaviours:

Verbal abuse directed to a member of staff/student
Violence or dangerous behaviour
Intentional vandalism requiring additional repair
Verbal interaction with another student causing intentional upset/distress
2 x faculty removals in the same day or an incident which in the professional judgement of the on –call teacher constitutes an on-call.

These incidents will require intervention from the student’s Head of Year. An investigation of the incident will take place requiring statements from the student, member of staff and any witnesses in addition to logging the behaviour on SIMS. An action request form may be required.

On completion of the investigation further sanctions may be applied at the discretion of the Head of Behaviour. You will receive feedback of the incident from the student’s HOY.

Reflection Room

The Reflection Room is designed as an alternative to fixed term exclusions for students who have displayed behaviour which requires removal from the school community.

Students are placed in the reflection room by the member of staff who is on-call or following a decision which has been made by a student’s Head of Year after consultation with the Head of behaviour.

In the reflection room Student’s learning is extended to 4.00pm, during which time they compete work provided by their class teacher, some reflective exercises and receive support from members of the pastoral and inclusion team.

Behaviour which is logged on SIMS daily is printed off in a report by the Pastoral Secretary for each HOY, this will then be reviewed for the appropriate escalation to be actioned. Parents/carers are notified by HOY when this level of intervention is required.

Whole School Detentions

Teacher set Detentions-

Students who do not complete homework or classwork as required or engage in low level disruption can be set a detention at staff’s discretion. Break or lunchtimes are ideal for this; if set for after school this must be supervised by the teacher who gives the detention or supported by a member of your faculty.

A second opportunity to attend is advisable if the original is missed. After this point teachers should have a discussion with the faculty head and ask for the student to be placed in 30 minute Whole School Detention if required.

Whole School Detention:

30 minute detentions

Students who are Faculty Removed from a lesson, who fail to complete their ‘Late Explanation’ sheet or who have missed a teacher set detention are required to complete a 30 minute same day detention in the PE wingat 3.00pm. A text message is sent to parents/carers to notify them of the detention.

One hour detentions

Students who have missed or failed their 30 minute detentions are required to attend a 60 minute detention which is arranged by the student’s HOY. Students who are removed via on-call to the Reflection Room or where a prior arrangement has been made by their HOY will also complete their 60 minutes after school.

Detentions are supervised on a rota basis by two members of staff. Members of SLT, Head of Faculty and the Pastoral Team who are on detention rota are required to assist with the facilitation of the hour detentions in the Reflection Room at the end of their 30 minute stint in the PE wing.

The Student Charter

This outlines behaviour expectations along with the home school agreement

The discreet warning system

The process for this is outlined in this handbook. This should be used to avoid removal from lessons wherever possible.

Lunchtime Charter

A similar staged approach to the warning system is used to promote positive community behaviourat lunchtime.

The Lunchtime Charter allows for a three warning system:

First Offence- Verbal Warning.
Second Offence- Five minutes cooling off with a member of the duty team.
Third Offence- Removal from circulation and placement in the Reflection Room.

‘Red line’ behaviour (see On- Call section of the policy) at lunchtime will result in removal from circulation from the school community and placement in the Reflection Room until 4.00pm. (Parents will be notified)

Uniform

Marriotts prides itself on students looking presentable at all times; the school uniform and PE kit ensure that students are smart in their appearance which reflects a positive community image and prepares students for their progression into a working environment which will have similar expectations.

The uniform requirements are clearly stated on the school website and student planner and must be adhered to at all times. This includes our expectations in terms of piercings, facial and body, which are not permitted under any circumstances and jewellery restrictions.

We are mindful that there may be very occasional situations when uniform and footwear pose an issue. Generally a student may be offered a one day pass followed by a phonecall home with the expectation that this is corrected in time for the next school day.

Exceptional circumstances are viewed on a case-by-case basis where additional support for students and their families may be considered.
