Our Rules link to British Values.
- Democracy: we all have a part in creating this code of conduct which we all agree with.
- Rule of Law: these are rules, we expect our community to obey them. Everybody has a right to be protected.
- Individual Liberty: for everybody to be safe, we have to have rules so everybody can have liberty. We are kept safe by the rules.
- Tolerance of Others’ Beliefs and Faiths: being respectful is the same as tolerance. We understand that we are different and are interested to learn about what other people think.
- Mutual Respect: we are thoughtful about ach other, we want everybody to be safe, respected and ready for the next exciting challenge. This is one of the things the rules are for.

Pupils are reminded of these expectation each year and, in particular, when moving between Key Stages, joining the school or returning to school after an extended absence.

Pupils are expected to:
- Follow the School Values in their behaviour, interactions and attitude
- Behave in an orderly and self-controlled way
- Demonstrate good manners
- In class, make it possible for all pupils to learn
- Move quietly around the school
- Wear the correct uniform at all times
- Accept sanctions when given, following opportunities to reflect and consider change
- Refrain from behaving in a way that brings the school into disrepute, including when outside school.
