The behaviour and attitudes of students is exemplary in and out of the classroom – OFSTED 2014 The school is a calm and purposeful place in which to learn – OFSTED 2014Rewards & Consequences
Students at Beaumont demonstrate a high level of responsibility and are expected to respect all others in our community and beyond.
The basis of the Rewards and Consequences at Beaumont is based on RESPECT: Respect for yourself Rewards and sanctions consequences are awarded in line with the school’s Behaviour Policy. In lessons, teachers will follow the school’s ‘Norms & Routines’ and Behaviour Chart, as outlined in the Home School Agreement. Parents and students sign a copy of this on starting at Beaumont and it is also in the student Planner. Student achievement is recognised in a variety of ways throughout the year. For day to day achievements in class work and home learning, teachers and tutors issue positives; certificates are awarded to students on being awarded multiples of 25 positives, and postcards sent home for 150 + positives. Teachers will also send postcards home for students’ positive contributions towards their work in a subject or towards the whole school, in line with Respect for yourself, Respect for our community and Respect for learning. Each term, subject teachers are also able to nominate students who have made a particular impression in either their attainment or effort and these are recognised by way of certificates presented at termly Awards Assemblies. Pastoral leaders, Heads of Department, and the Headteacher also nominate students for Achievement letters, Excellence Awards, Distinction awards, and Gold awards. Summary found here. Individual departments also run systems of reward and recognition, including postcards home, subject Colours and Player and Improved Player of the Year in sports activities. In this way, achievement, progress, and making a contribution to the school or wider community are seen to be valued and at the heart of school life. They are also within the reach of every student and motivate each to give of their best. We expect to reward: Details of the school’s Awards system are published in the student Planner. Visitors to our school frequently comment on the calm and purposeful learning atmosphere that is created and maintained by all that attend the school. Students are expected to be prompt for school and lessons bringing with them all of the correct equipment for that day’s learning. Students are expected to wear their uniform correctly at all times including to and from school. Behaviour at the school is excellent. Students are rewarded for their achievements both inside and outside of the classroom. Where behaviour falls below the expected level, it is rectified using the ‘Behaviour Chart’. This shows all staff and students the opportunities for rewards and the consequences of falling below the school’s behaviour expectations. In lessons, teachers will follow the Behaviour Chart. Teachers will issue a lesson ‘negative’ as a result of having to give a verbal reprimand or classroom consequence. Accumulation within a week of lesson negatives will result, in the first instance, in a phone call home from the Form Tutor; increased numbers would result in a Head of Year’s detention. Further lesson negatives will involve: meetings with parents and the student, followed by further, higher consequences as required. Within a lesson, a teacher may give a detention. This could be at break time or lunchtime. Failure to attend this teacher detention will result in a 30 minute detention afterschool the same day. If a student is involved in an incident at break time, lunchtime or afterschool, these will be investigated by the Head of Year and depending upon the incident, the consequence will be in line with the consequence in line with the Behaviour Policy. These could include an Internal Isolation, Suspension or Permanent Exclusion. Other consequences: Lateness to school: students who are late to school without a valid reason will receive a break time detention (15 mins) on the same day. Missing this detention will result in a 30 min detention the same day. Failure to complete Home learning: 30 minute afterschool detention on the day the Home learning was due. Conduct card: each student is given a conduct card. If this is signed five times in a half term, a student will receive a one hour detention, after school, on a Friday.
