Vision
We believe that school must be a safe and supportive environment for pupils to be able to achieve their full educational potential. For this to happen, it is essential that all of us, staff and pupils take responsibility for our own actions and are:
| Considerate |
Respectful of everyone as an individual and respectful of the environment |
| Caring |
That we do not say or do anything which hurts or offends others |
| Co-operative |
Polite and helpful at all times |
| Friendly |
Willing to work together |
| Hardworking |
Prepared to do our best |
| Honest |
Truthful |
| Trusting |
Accepting that others really want to help |
| Responsible |
Reliable and sensible |
| Proud |
Proud of ourselves, our school and our work |
What this means in practice is that we should all do the following:
| Be punctual |
Avoid lateness |
| Be safe |
Always have regard to your own safety and the safety of others |
| Speak considerately |
Avoid shouting, swearing, and offensive words |
| Be ready for lessons |
Bring all materials needed and prepare for lessons |
| Clear up |
During lessons and at break and lunchtimes |
| Move in an orderly way |
Avoid running, hold doors open for people, keep to the left |
| Respect our environment |
The school grounds, buildings and furniture, and equipment - use the litter bins provided |
| Respect our community |
Do not trespass |
Some things are ABSOLUTELY forbidden at Grangefield and may lead to exclusion. These are: FIGHTING OR USING THREATENING BEHAVIOUR, BULLYING, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, TRUANCY, THEFT, SEXIST OR RACIST BEHAVIOUR, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
This Code of Conduct applies throughout the school day and includes journeys to and from school.
If students are to achieve their potential, it will be as the result of a strong working partnership between parents, students and school staff – a partnership based on trust, understanding, support and mutual respect.
