  Attendance

Attendance is compulsory unless a child is ill. If students are absent a telephone call to the office and a note to the teacher stating date/dates and reasons for absence is required.

  Awards

Students are given award certificates for a range of endeavours including class work, sportspersonship, special efforts, good conduct, responsibility and initiative. There is a conscious effort by all staff to commend, guide and encourage students in all aspects of their school life.  We use an Incentive Booklet to do this which all students have. 

  Buses

There are no school buses provided to bring students to Broadgreen. Public bus transport may be used.

  Class Organisation

• Students spend most of their time in a home room with their classroom teacher working on a wide range of subjects.
• Emphasis is on the mastery of skills as they pertain to individual needs.
• All classes are mixed in ability, in gender (boy & girl) and in age (year 7 & year 8).
• Classes are organised within the school, into teams/houses providing greater flexibility and use of teacher strengths.
• Classes within the teams will interact regularly with shared planning of activities.

  Damage to Property

Where negligence or mischief has caused, or contributed to damage to school or other persons property, at least part-payment by the student responsible will be required.

  Discipline 

• Our aim is to encourage responsible self direction and behaviour that shows concern and care for self and others.
• A behaviour modification programme will be put in place for those students who need support.
• Parents are advised that school policy allows teachers to detain students until 3.45pm.
• Every effort will be made to notify parents in advance if this is to happen.
• If a student is detained at short notice, they may be instructed by the teacher to notify parents by phone. Teachers will check this has been done.

- Withdrawal Room:

Students who behave inappropriately in the playground may be sent to the Withdrawal Room which is supervised by a teacher.  If this happens a letter will be sent home describing what the behaviour was.  If students are sent to the Withdrawal Room more than once they may also be involved in a lunchtime programme to alter behaviour.  Parents will be notified if this happens.

  Homework

When students have formal homework to do parents can help by ensuring that a suitable time and space are provided and that they encourage students to read, research areas of interest and revise tables and spelling. Only on rare occasions are students expected to spend more than half an hour on homework. Many students, however, regard homework as a leisure pursuit and willingly spend large amounts of time on a variety of tasks. We commend their endeavours.

Every student must have a homework diary which is part of their stationery.  Parents should comment in this if homework is not being done - the classroom teacher checks this diary at least once a week.

Please consult with your child's classroom teacher over homework expectations.
