The Consequence System
System works on an accumulation of consequences as a result of a pupils
poor choices (C1 to C5).
• C1 – first warning for breaking a classroom Golden Rule
• C2 – second warning (loss of stamp) for the same or another
classroom Golden Rule infringement.
• C3 – issued for breaking the same/another classroom Golden Rule
for a third time and will result in a 15 min detention (KS2 at
lunchtime, KS3 after school) and/or removal from the lesson via “on
call” staff member.
• If a serious incident occurs in or outside a lesson then a C4 is issued. This
is referred to HOY for investigation and a 45 min after school detention
given if warranted. If this is occurs in a lesson then the pupil is removed
via “on call” staff.
• C1/C2/C3 do not carry over from one lesson to the next, either in a day or
subject – each lesson is a fresh start.
• A C4 can also be issued for an accumulation of C3’s (2 in a week) – this
will result in the pupil being issued an after school detention by their HOY.
• C5 is reserved for the most serious of incidents and will require referral to
SLT for further investigation and involve possible isolation/exclusion.
• D1 is issued for breaking basic expectations outside of the class room, for
every 2 D1’s acquired, a 15min detention will be issued
#GOYB
• We challenge our pupils to give of their best and we reward those
pupils at 3 points in the year with special GOYB activities/trips.
• The points system will take into account every pupils progress,
attainment, attendance, behaviour and rewards, giving us the
opportunity to identify those who really do give of their best in all
aspects of school life.
• Behaviour and reward points will be tracked and monitored via
SIMS and combined with the points total from Class Room Monitor
GOYB Points System
+1 point per house point
+3 points per positive postcard
+5 points per subject award/certificate
+10 points per HT Award
+10 points per 100% attendance per half term

Why has assessment changed?

understanding developed in the classroom
• Encourage pupils to develop long term strategies for independent work
and study

learning
• To prepare pupils for High School
What types of homework should I expect my child to get?
• Reading on a daily basis (with parents or carers for insecure readers)

which could be through the use of ICT programs (Mathletics, My
