CONFISCATION
Staff will confiscate any dangerous items such as weapons. Such items are stored by the
Headteacher. Inappropriate items/items causing disruption during lessons e.g. mobile phones, games
will be confiscated and returned at the end of the school day. If an item is brought into school several
times parents will be approached to request the item is kept at home.
THE ROLE OF PARENTS
Parents are asked to sign a Home School Agreement at the start of each academic year which outlines
the responsibilities of the parent and the school including supporting the Behaviour Management
Policy. Parents do have a role in ensuring their child is well behaved at school. The school may ask
parents to sign a Parenting Contract or may apply for a court imposed Parenting Order when their
child persistently does not behave well in school.
If a parent should have a concern about their child they should raise this concern with the class
teacher in the first instance. If the concern remains or escalates the parent needs to speak to the
Assistant Head. This will allow for the concern to be dealt with quickly and at an appropriate level.
Continuous or serious issues can then be passed to the Deputy Head/Senior Deputy Head then
Headteacher if the need arises in the most serious cases. Appointments can be made to see class
teachers before school between 8:30a.m. and 8:40a.m. and then after school.
CONCLUSION
Children with identified SEND including Social, Mental and Emotional Health Needs will follow

sanctions/Behaviour Charts will form part of these reviews. Children who are felt to pose a health
and safety risk to themselves/ others will be subject to a Risk Assessment reviewed in line with its
recommendations.
