Form tutors have a daily contact with your child – if you have any concerns or queries please do not
hesitate to contact school by either telephone or if possible email. Please email the office with your

The Year 9 Council
There are 16 members of the year 9 council – a boy and girl from each form group. Two members have
been elected to the full School Council. The council meet with Miss Hensby before and after a full council
meeting to discuss any issues pupils have about school. Recently 6th form students have become more involved
with the year 9 council team to promote more independence amongst a closer age range.

Rewards
Students are rewarded by staff for a variety of things, including good effort and pleasing achievement in their work;
helpfulness around the college; kindness to other students and making a good contribution to the school community. Individual
Departments have their own reward systems and certificates or privileges but in addition the whole school subscribes to the
‘I Behave’ computerised system. This system allows staff to notify parents immediately, via email, when a student has been
awarded a point. When students have earned Twenty-five points they are presented with a Bronze Award - a certificate and a
badge. Fifty Points leads to a Silver Award, One hundred points equals a Gold award and Two hundred points equals a Platinum Award.
In addition within the Year we run an inter- form competition. The form with most I-Behaves each week receives a certificate
in assembly. At the end of each term the winning form receives a special treat.
For Excellent Attendance, individuals are awarded certificates. Likewise, the inter-form competition means the winning form each
week receives a certificate. There is also a Reward Trip for students with the highest attendance every year. We run 2 Reward trips,
one for Attendance in January and one in July to reward students with good behaviour and effort in lessons.
