Behaviour System

Positive Points

Ethos Points are awarded when you consistently display a positive attitude and work ethic in line with our school values and our motto. You should aim to get these in every lesson. Additional ethos points can be awarded outside of lessons for actions which reflect our values.

1898 Points are awarded to students and staff as a recognition for attending or organising extra-curricular activities, attending or delivering mentoring or impact sessions, and contributing to the wider life of the school.

Academic Points are awarded following the MileStone assessments completed throughout Years 7 to 13. They are awarded based on a comparison between your target grade and your assessment grade in each subject.

There are three other categories of Positive Points that can be awarded at a teacher’s discretion. These are awarded when you show further excellence in your work:

Classwork Excellence Points are awarded for work completed in class that is worthy of merit.

Homework Excellence Points are awarded for completing homework or independent research that is worthy of merit.

Participation Excellence Points are awarded for answering questions, and displaying a high standard of oracy or effort that is worthy of merit.

Negative Points

Negative Points are issued when you do not uphold the values of the school. Six negative points within a half term will result in a school detention. You and your parents will be notified of a detention via ClassCharts. Further consequences will be applied if you repeatedly incur school detentions.
