All children have the right to feel safe and secure at school, and to be protected from harm. The following policy below outlines a code of conduct that is expected of staff and pupils of King's. Karen Richardson is our Pastoral Deputy Head and if you have any queries or concerns regarding children at King's please do contact her.
We have high expectations of the entire community at King's. Common sense should prevail at all times. Mutual co-operation, respect for property, respect for our environment and above all, each other, are essential to our happiness.
We are valued and should value others. This means that each of us will:
· Be Courteous .. in speech and conduct
.. by showing respect for others
.. by being well-behaved
· Be Considerate .. by being punctual
.. by being attentive
.. by being patient
.. by caring for people and their property
· Be Prepared .. by being in the correct school uniform
.. by having all the correct equipment
.. by being ready to work
· Be Hard-working .. by starting work quickly
.. by following instructions
.. producing high quality work
· Be Tidy .. by taking trouble over your appearance
.. by taking pride in your work
.. by caring for your surroundings
· Be Safety-conscious .. by moving around the school calmly
.. by observing all safety practices
.. by using all equipment carefully
Remember at all times that we are representatives and ambassadors of King's College School
Certain forms of behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances:
BULLYING AND UNKIND TEASING, SWEARING, FIGHTING, STEALING, VANDALISM
Owning up
If you own up to damaging school property you will be behaving responsibly and you will not be punished. You will have to pay for the damage caused. It is much better for your conscience if you own up to something you have done.
Reporting other incidents
You have a responsibility to report incidents of bullying, stealing and vandalism to a member of staff because these things are very damaging to the community to which you belong; covering up for others will do much more harm than good.
There are some places where we must show particular consideration for others in our manners and behaviour so that all can enjoy and make the most of their time at school
