Policies

This section contains some of High Close School’s policies, which have been designed to protect and guide young people.

Promoting positive behaviour

Our policies are there to help develop pupils’ awareness of moral, social, cultural and spiritual values, and actively promote positive behaviour through the supportive environment of the school. Their aim is to help our students make a positive contribution to the school and community and become independent, informed and responsible young people.

All policies come under regular review and are updated in a rolling programme as and when necessary, and many of these policies are discussed with the pupils themselves, such as our anti-bullying charter. Upon joining the school, students are given a booklet, Young Person’s Handbook Statement of Purpose, which includes relevant information on our policies.

Our policies include:

• a behaviour policy
• a child protection policy
• an anti-bullying policy
• an exclusion policy
• a complaints policy
• Barnardo's basis and values.

The ethos of the school is to reward good behaviours - Ofsted 2009.
