Student Behaviour Policy.pdf

Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College's Student Behaviour and Discipline Policy aims to provide a calm, purposeful, and safe learning environment. The policy promotes positive behaviour, ensuring students are safe, achieve progress, and contribute to the learning environment. The college sets clear expectations, including full attendance, punctuality, respect, and acceptable use of resources. When students fail to meet these expectations, staff intervene with formal and informal measures, applied consistently and proportionately. The college's approach to discipline is supportive, transparent, fair, and consistent, with interventions aimed at promoting positive change. Unacceptable behaviour, including harm, bullying, violence, and discrimination, may result in disciplinary measures. The policy outlines guidelines, including the use of levelled 'Agreements' to address poor behaviour, and the responsibility of staff to challenge and correct indiscipline. Students and parents are informed of disciplinary actions, and records are kept on the college's system. In extreme cases, students may be asked to withdraw from the college. The policy is supported by various documents, including the Student Handbook, Learning Agreement, and 'QE Expects' document.
