Facial piercings of any kind, including tongue piercings and transparent piercing retainers are prohibited. If
parents wish for their children to have additional visible piercings this must be done with ample healing time so
that the piercing can be removed during the school day.
Hair – hair is to be of a natural colour. Lines and patterns shaved into hair or eyebrows, Mohican or skinhead-
type styles are prohibited. Long hair must be tied back for PE, Technology and Science lessons. We ask that
parents make informed decisions with respect to hair styles worn during school breaks and ensure that all
students return to school with acceptable styles detailed.
Make-up

   Years 7 & 8 & 9– No make up
   Years 10 & 11 - Only light make-up may be worn.
We will not tolerate the over use of make-up products.
Nails & Eyelashes
Nail varnish/polish, false nails and nail decorations and false eyelashes are prohibited and must be removed
on sight.

Line Ups
Starting the Academy day well is essential, and line-ups will continue to be used to ensure that students are in
full uniform and ready for learning at all times. Students will not attend lessons if incorrectly dressed.
Students will:

   Arrive to line-ups on time
   First whistle (2 mins in): stand in alphabetical order
   Second whistle (3 mins in) : stand silently
   Listen to key notices that may need to be shared
   Follow their teacher in single file in absolute silence when instructed to do so by the member of staff

                                                                                                        Page 3 of 5

RESET room
No student has the right to purposefully disrupt the learning of another child.
In order to ensure teaching and learning is not disrupted at all in any classroom, we are tightening our
behaviour policy. The full version will be on the website shortly. The key changes are identified below:
1) If a student fails to meet our clear expectations their name will be written on the whiteboard by way of a
   formal warning and the member of staff leading the lesson will briefly explain to the student why their name
   has been written on the board.

2) The second time during a lesson that a student fails to meet these expectations they will be sent to RESET
   (Internal Exclusion) for 5 periods of learning, starting during the lesson from which the student is sent until
   the end of the same period the next day (Monday if sent on the previous Friday).

3) Failure to arrive within 5 minutes of being sanctioned or refusal to go to the RESET will result in a one-day
   fixed term exclusion with the day in RESET completed upon their re-admittance to the Academy.

4) If a student is sent to RESET, the member of staff who sent the student out will meet with the student at the
   end of the day for a ‘RESET Conversation’ where they will be made aware of what they did wrong, why it
   disrupted learning and what needs to be done differently next lesson. To allow this to take place students
   sent to RESET will be required to remain in Academy for an additional hour that day.

5) Students sent to RESET before lunchtime will be expected to complete a 1-hour detention on the same day
   that the RESET was sanctioned. For RESETs sanctioned after lunch, the student will complete the
   detention the next day.

6) Parents will be contacted immediately child is sent to Reset and the member of staff will then call later to
   discuss the exact issues in detail.
