DISCIPLINE

We demand high standards of discipline. We require pupils to be hard working, self-disciplined and well mannered at all times. Discipline at Woodlands is based upon encouragement of good behaviour through praise and reward but is backed up by clear and firm sanctions for those whose effort or behaviour fails to meet our standards.

Woodlands is a school where lessons are orderly and pupils are well behaved around the school. We consider the disruption of lessons and poor behaviour to be serious offences and will not hesitate to suspend pupils from school where this course of action is appropriate. In all incidents we will of course involve parents in our discussions. Where pupils are given a detention then, if it is for more than twenty minutes, parents will be given 24 hours notice via the Pupil Planner.
