Expectations
Fitzharrys is a school with high expectations and standards. In line with our ethos: Aspiration, Opportunity, Integrity, Fitzharrys students are expected to come in each day with a positive approach to learning, keen to participate in lessons, and take responsibility for their behaviour in class and around school.
We place great importance on celebrating and rewarding achievement to encourage students to make the right choices and invest in their learning. To support this, we use an effective Behaviour for Learning system to encourage and acknowledge good behaviour. Our behaviour system is used consistently across every classroom, making rewards and consequences very clear to every student. We work on the principle of doing ‘the right thing, in the right place, at the right time’, and our pupils respond to these clear expectations.
Please read the parent guidance leaflet below for more details on our Behaviour for Learning system:
Behaviour for Learning - parent guidance
As Ofsted recognised, “Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. As a result, pupils learn in a calm and purposeful environment.”
Full details on Fitzharrys’ behaviour expectations are set out in our school policies.
