Behaviour for Learning at Shoeburyness

At Shoeburyness High School the main focus is on learning in the classrooom. In order to achieve this we have introduced successful Behaviour Management Procedures which are used by staff to assist students with their learning.

Following a consultation exercise with students we have adopted 6 main school rules:

1. No swearing or anti-social behaviour
2. Be properly equipped and follow the school's dress code
3. Follow instructions
4. Walk quietly in the corridors and keep our school tidy
5. No mobile phones or entertainment systems
6. Be positive and work together

Those students who follow these rules are able to participate in a reward system which offers them the opportunities to go on trips or receive vouchers etc.

If students require additional support with their behaviour, departments within the school have an ‘on call’ system whereby a member of staff will supervise a student working on their own.

A small number have to be removed to the isolation area during lessons. If their behaviour persists then we have on site an internal exclusion area where students complete their work under the guidance of the exclusion room manager.

In extreme cases students could well be excluded from school on a permanent basis.

Shoeburyness High School has been part of the B.I.P. (Behaviour Improvement Programme) during the last 3 years and as a result the overall behaviour within the school has greatly improved.

Ofsted’s last inspection in January 2007 stated “Behaviour has improved from satisfactory to good thanks to effective intervention strategies”

The majority of students adhere to the Behaviour for Learning protocols and as a result our academic achievements have greatly improved over the years.
