Boys are expected to be courteous to each other and all staff and visitors and to behave well at all times, and generally do so. Good behaviour is encouraged by praise and acknowledgement, but reminders are sometimes necessary when behaviour falls short of expected standards.

Apart from the very short official school rules, we have an unwritten code of behaviour which boys learn gradually during their first term at the school: -

- They should listen attentively and participate as requested in lessons
- They should put up their hands if they wish to ask a question or make a
  comment
- They should hand in prep as required
- They should present their work neatly and do all corrections as requested
- They should apologise and give a good reason if late for a lesson
- They should let a teacher know in advance if they know they are going to be
  late
- They should seek permission if they wish to use the lavatory during a lesson
  (but should try to avoid doing this)
- They should not interrupt lessons in other classrooms unless expressly
  asked to do so by another teacher
- They should look after their own property and respect other people’s
- They should keep their own desk and form room tidy
- They should walk at all times in the building and in church
- They must not eat in the classrooms

Children are awarded plusses for good conduct as well as for good work, organisation, games and music.

There are also sanctions for poor behaviour (see Crime and Punishment and our behaviour policy document which is available on request).
