Behaviour For Learning Policy

The new system started up by Mr Reeves. The main offenders of the penalty point givers may be: Mrs Kennedy, standing at the bottom of a staircase with a pen, or with her door open- ready to attack. Mrs Heywood- giving out points for the 'fun of it'

The Book

With the new system, everybody is required to have a book to track merits and penalties, if this is forgotten, a temporary book is used just in case 'The Book' is required because if it is, and you don't have it on you, you get an instant detention. If you lose your book you go to your Head of Year for a new one, and you get a penalty point. 'The Book' has two halves, the front half is merits, the back half is penalties. Unless you are a goody goody in every lesson, you are more likely to have the book signed in the back half.

Ways to get Merit Points

• Good Work
• 3 Good Homeworks...which means we will hardly get any merits now.
• Good Test Score

Ways to get Penalty Points

• Bad Uniform.
• Homework not being handed in.
• Disruptive Behavior.
• Forgetting Equipment.
• Forgetting Exercise Books.
• Losing 'The Book'
• Anything Really

The Levels

If you get 5 penalty points you get an after school detention. At 10 you go to 'Level 1.'

Level 1

• Get a detention
• Put on form report

Get to 15 penalty points and you go to 'Level 2.'

Stupid Penalty (And Occasionally Merit) Points

Teachers just gove penalties for no reason... some stupid entries into books have been...

• Screaming Like A Banshee
• Short Skirt And Handgesture

Once somebody got a merit for 'Silly Behaviour' because when the teacher asked for 'The Book', the person gave her the book but then asked for the inside cover, and accidently gave her the merit bit and she signed it!
