Behaviour
At Central Foundation, we believe that outstanding behaviour in school is a pre-requisite for learning. Our behaviour system is built on genuine mutual respect, kindness and a calm focus on learning. We have ambitious expectations of students’ behaviour in all lessons, assemblies, lesson transitions and times spent in social spaces.
Students will need reminders when they are not able to display the right behaviour whilst at school. These reminders and warnings are given in the form of demerits which deduct points from the students’ merit totals.
The school monitors the pupils’ behaviour, puts in strategies to improve that behaviour and encourages parental involvement in supporting the school to maintain our high standards.
We place an emphasis on protecting the learning of all students and therefore, in the instances where warnings and demerits do not nudge a student back on track, we have a removal system which protects the learning of other students in the classroom.
Attendance and Punctuality
Students need to attend school regularly to achieve their full potential. Attendance and punctuality are, therefore, closely monitored and we expect all students to aim for an attendance of 98% or over. Time spent out of the classroom for any reason is a loss of learning time.
Assemblies
Each Year group has a Year assembly once a week. This gives the Director of Learning the opportunity to develop the cultural capital of the students and give rewards and recognition to those students who are exhibiting the best learning behaviours.
