Student Discipline

While we want students to have a good time at our schools, in a residential school it is also important that they follow the rules
as there are many people they can possibly upset by their actions. The school has clear rules about behaviour which must be
followed and Group leaders must support our team by explaining to the students how they should act in the school and help-
ing our staff supervise and control their behaviour as far as possible.
Please read the school rules and the Disciplinary Policy carefully and explain them to your students.
