All children have the right to feel safe and secure at school, and to be protected from harm.
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:
|
in speech and conduct by showing respect for others by being well-behaved |
|
by being punctual by being attentive by being patient by caring for people and their property |
|
by being in the correct school uniform by having all the correct equipment by being ready to work by completing all homework on time |
|
by starting work quickly by following instructions by producing high quality work |
|
by taking trouble over your appearance by taking pride in your work by caring for your surroundings |
|
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.
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 may have to pay for the damage caused but please remember, it is much better for your conscience if you own up to something you have done. If your conscience tells you to own up for any other matter, you will be treated compassionately and with respect. It is always good to be honest.
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. Unpleasant behaviour is often a cry for help and the offender may well need to share their feelings with an adult.
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
