We believe that all students have the right to attend a School where all our hard work, our successes and our values are shared and celebrated within the School, but also out in the wider community. It is every student’s responsibility to behave well outside the School. Sometimes, the thoughtless or antisocial behaviour of a few students lets us all down and we cannot tolerate this. This booklet is set out to ensure that all students understand their rights and responsibilities regarding the expected behaviour outside the School. If you do not obey the rules, there could be serious consequences for you.

The Year Team Councils and School Council have held meetings and students have suggested some ideas concerning behaviour expectations outside the school:

• No fighting or ‘play fighting’
• No smoking outside the School at any time
• Remember we share the pavement with the public – it is not our playground
• Display good road sense and use the marked crossings: stay safe!
• Dropping litter is never acceptable
• We must enter and leave buses by the correct doors
• Queuing sensibly to get on a bus means without pushing, shoving or shouting
• Calm and quiet behaviour on buses is very important – it’s basic good manners
• Respect elderly or disabled people
