Parent Guide Stages of Behaviour 2015-16 At Royds School the Stages of Behaviour system is used to allow learning to take place in the classroom and to remove low level disruption. It enables students to take responsibility for their behaviour and to make the right choices with a system that is fair, consistent and clear. The pyramid shows the different Stages of Behaviour and this guide provides detailed information on each stage. S5 FTE S4 Isolation S3 Detention S2 Comment S1 Verbal Warning Rule Reminder - name on the board The Six Rules of the Classroom Our Expectations: 1. Arrive to lessons ready to learn and with the correct equipment. 2. Follow the instructions the first time. 3. Listen to the person who should be talking. 4. Keep hands, feet and unkind words to yourself. 5. Put your hand up if you want attention. 6. Do the best work you can and don’t disrupt the learning of others. The Rule Reminder: Students are told the “rule reminder” for not meeting expectations before teachers will issue the first S1. Their name will go on the board. Teachers will: Have high standards and expectations of behaviour. Be calm, consistent and clear. After the Rule Reminder: The first misbehaviour results in a S1 Verbal Warning; the first cross on the board. The second misbehaviour results in a S2 Comment; the second cross on the board and S2B recorded in planner. The third misbehaviour results in a S3 Removal; the third cross on the board. S2 Comments A student can receive the following S2 comments immediately in a lesson or around school. They will be recorded in the planner and more than one S2 comment can be issued in a lesson or around school. S2H Homework: No homework. This is issued by lesson, not by day. S2E Equipment: Incorrect or no equipment. S2U Uniform: Failure to follow the uniform code unless the student has a note signed by Senior Leadership, Year Leader or Learning Manager. S2P Planner not signed: Issued by Form tutor. S2B Behaviour: A student can receive S2 Comment in lesson or for antisocial behaviour around school such as horseplay, pushing, taking ties, grabbing other students. Students’ names do not automatically go on the board for any of the above. The only exception to this is a student receives an S2B. In this case a student’s name is placed on the board straight to S2. S2 Comments are recorded in the planner in a weekly grid like below. Code Dept Staff Date S2B X THO 1/9/15 S2B Eng1 THO 1/9/15 S2E Eng2 THO 1/9/15 S2E Sci MSH 2/9/15 S2B Ma MFO 2/9/15 S2B X BKE 3/9/15 S2B Eng3 PJA 4/9/15 S2E PE RNE 5/9/15 Three S2 comments in a subject per half term results in S3 detention. Three S2 comments in form time in a week for failing to have planner signed results in S3 detention. Eight S2 Comments in a week results in an S4 isolation. In this instance a new sticker would be placed over the box. It will be each member of staff’s responsibility to record S2 Comments and then issue detentions when needed. Any S2 around school is recorded with an “X” in the space for department. Any S2 Comment around school and student has no planner then S4 isolation logged by the staff member who challenged the student. Equipment will be sold in Student Services. Students can purchase before school, break and lunch. Equipment will not be sold during lessons. Staff will issue S2 Comment every lesson until student buys equipment. Equipment will be clearly stated for each subject at the beginning of the year e.g. reading book, calculator, PE kit. S3 Removal from Lesson Students will be issued an S3 Removal Sheet. Student will be sent to the Matrix Room. Upon their return, students will be issued a detention. A detention sticker is placed in the planner on the correct week.
