As detailed in the school’s Behaviour procedure to support the positive conduct of behaviour in and around the school we have set out some key expectations for pupils and staff built around ‘Respect the CTA Way’.
Classroom Expectations
Pupils:
- Enter lessons calmly and on time, ready to learn;
- Respond calmly to instructions and to do as they are asked by adults in school first time and without challenge;
- Engage in learning, take pride in their work and try their best at all times;
- Are polite and considerate to all; they respect each other and the environment;
- Do not leave a lesson without permission – this will be considered truancy, a serious and significant issue;
- Have the correct equipment, as indicated in the equipment list.
WE BELIEVE ALL PUPILS CAN DO THIS – EVERY DAY
Outside the Classroom
Pupils:
- Respect the CTA Way and behave accordingly;
- Respond calmly to instructions and to do as they are asked by adults in school first time and without challenge;
- Respect the CTA environment;
- Move around CTA calmly and with consideration for the safety of others;
