Behaviour, Attendance & Welfare

The school has a clear set of behaviour etiquettes or habits which are aimed at developing the core values of resilience, independence and care in our students.

We place great value on the school as a community, with partnership between students, parents and teachers being key to a safe and harmonious community.

We have a mantra of ‘catching the pupils following the values’ with staff being encouraged to praise and recognise this through praise postcards, ClassCharts positive points, pupil of the fortnight awards and regular praise assemblies. 

Being on time is an important habit for success and we have high expectations around this across our school community. Being punctual shows that you value other people's time; it makes you reliable and dependable; it avoids unnecessary stress or anxiety.

We need your support to ensure your child is able to meet these requirements and access their education fully. Whether your child walks, cycles or gets dropped off, you have the biggest influence on ensuring they are on time. 

Burnage Academy for Boys does not accept any disruption of learning and is clear in how we define and respond to unacceptable conduct which goes against our school values. This includes punctuality to school and lessons.

Likewise, we have a zero tolerance response to any acts of hatred against another in the school community including bullying of any sort.

If a young person does not meet the required behaviour standards, they will be placed on Stage 1 behaviour monitoring. Their Form tutor will be supporting them and will contact home regularly for discussion.

If a young person's behavuiour does not improve on Stage 1 , they will be stepped up to Stage 2 behaviour monitoring and their House Leader will invite parents into school for regular meetings and offer support where needed both within school and with external agencies.

We would expect to see a huge improvement at this point. If behaviour is still an issue, then a step up to  Stage 3 behaviour monitoring  and regular meetings with a member of leadership will take place.

Our student and staff feedback shows that our approach to behaviour and respect creates a safe space in school where all can learn and flourish.
