Behaviour
We are proud of the high standards of behaviour achieved at Chew Valley School and make every effort to reward the achievements of our young people.
House points are awarded to students as a recognition of good work, progress or service to the school. Presentations are made in Assembly to tutor groups which have been awarded the most house points. Students are also awarded commendations for outstanding work or achievement. Consistent achievement is marked by the award of a Head’s Commendation.
When a student’s work or behaviour is below standard they may be placed on a daily report by their Head of Year and teachers are asked to comment on their work and behaviour in each lesson. This will be expected to be shown to parents/guardians each evening.
In more serious cases, students may also be detained after school on a Tuesday with at least 24 hours notice being given to parents. After-school detentions are only given and supervised by senior members of staff. All serious breaches of discipline are reported to parents and we aim to work together to ensure high standards of work and behaviour.
In extreme situations or after repeated misconduct, students may be internally excluded in a supervised work area or externally excluded from school for a fixed period.
