C1

Verbal Warning

A student who is rude, shouts out, disobeys instructions or behaves inappropriately will be issued with a first warning - Consequence One (C1) by the class teacher or support staff. These verbal warnings are not to be centrally recorded but should be noted by the class teacher e.g. on the board, in notebook etc. Teachers need to be calm and decisive in giving a warning to a pupil. Examples of where a C1 can be communicated to a student are;

• Rudeness e.g. chatting back to a teacher or other adult, talking whilst teacher is talking, making comments to other pupils which cause them to react
• Shouting out
• Disobeying instructions of a teacher or other adult
• Behaving inappropriately e.g. moving around without permission

Remember – as part of the Woodside High School strategies for effective teaching and learning to take place; we need to give students a time and a chance to correct any misbehaviour e.g. I will give you time to pick up that pen but if you refuse to do so then there will be a consequence.

C2

Final Warning

If a student persists in being rude, shouts out, disobeys instructions or behaves inappropriately then a second, final warning is issued, and a tick is made against their name on the board (if in class).

The issuing of C2 gives a student the choice and chance to make the final, right, decision

C3

Detention

If a student does not meet the expectations for a third time they receive a detention.

A detention will be issued for minimum of 15 minutes.

This detention could take place at break, lunchtime or after school.

We also reserve the right to give detentions for up to 1 hour at lunchtime (where students will have an opportunity to be given and eat lunch).

C4

Detention

If a student does not meet the expectations for a fourth time, the length of their detention is extended.

A detention will be issued for 45 minutes after school.

This must be entered on SIMs and parents/carers must be given 24 hours’ notice.

A C3 or C4 could be given due to an escalation of warnings, (C1, C2 etc.) or may jump straight to this category due to the severity of the incident (see automatic C4 behaviours below):

C3 or C4 after escalation of warnings in classrooms

• Continued rudeness e.g. chatting back to a teacher or other adult, talking whilst teacher is talking, making comments to other students which cause them to react
• Continual shouting out
• Continual disobeying instructions of a teacher or other adult
• Continual inappropriate behaviour e.g. moving around without permission, throwing pens or paper across room
• Failure to complete, satisfactorily, classwork, homework or coursework.

Automatic C4 around the school or in class

• Persistent inappropriate uniform e.g. no blazer, consistently not wearing uniform correctly
• Rudeness to staff

• Deliberately offensive language directed at an individual e.g. swearing etc.

C5

If a student does not meet the expectations for a fifth time they may be removed from the lesson (sent to Remove) and behaviour will be investigated by Head of Year/Head of Department/SLT.

This challenge to the staff member’s authority has to be over and above all of the reasons listed for a C3 or C4. Any adult in the school who feels that the authority of the school has been challenged may issue a C5.

C5 incidents must be referred to the Head of Year/Head of Department/SLT for further investigation.

Automatic C5:

• Absolute refusal
• Swearing at staff
• Intimidating/threatening behaviour
• Fighting
• Carrying a weapon
• Carrying/use of drugs
