Behaviour & Reward

Expectations of the Academy

Around the Academy

Pupils should meet the high expectations of the Academy in their conduct around the Academy and when on the site, and also when outside the Academy when in Academy uniform. They are expected to follow all of the instructions given by adults at all times, and to move around the building in a calm and purposeful manner.

How the Academy deals with behaviour for learning

There are various sanctions which form part of the Academy’s approach to behaviour for learning. These include after-school detentions, isolation from lessons, fixed term suspensions (FTS) and other sanctions set out in the Academy Behaviour Policy. Click on the links below:

Recognition & Reward

Recognition and rewards are essential to instilling a sense of pride. Pupils can gain recognition for a positive approach to learning, contribution to their personal development and wider community involvement. We want to involve parents and carers in celebrating success, by communicating with you through the use of text messages and phone calls. Recognising success is a fundamental aspect of Academy life.

The following milestones will be celebrated:

100 positive points = Bronze Level: Bronze reward badge, Bronze raffle ticket and communication home.

200 positive points = Silver Level: Silver reward badge, Silver raffle ticket and communication home.

400 positive points = Gold Level: Gold reward badge, Gold raffle ticket and communication home. School and a gold certificate

Pupils will be recognised for positive behaviour against BRAVE. BRAVE captures the key qualities we aim to develop in every pupil, helping them grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. These values are woven into daily school life — from classroom discussions and assemblies to recognition awards and our overall school culture. We believe BRAVE will provide a clear and positive framework that pupils can carry with them, both inside and outside the classroom. Here's what it stands for:
