Work hard and do all their class work and any homework as well as they can.

Keep their parent(s)/carer(s) informed and involved in their life at school.

We understand that if any student:

they are likely to be permanently excluded.

School will not intervene with issues between students that arise on social media or web spaces, unless this causes a direct problem in school or is to the detriment of the schools reputation.
Where direct problems have arisen in school the school will seek information from parent(s)/carer(s) as to their strategy for ensuring that this is not repeated. This will prevent further upset to students and their families and wasting staff resource.
If there are issues between students on social media we advise parents to click the ‘report abuse’ button and shut down the social media account.
