Encouraging High Standards of Behaviour It is the School’s policy to nurture and encourage self-discipline amongst pupils. We encourage all pupils to adhere to the ‘I CARE’ Core Values: Innovative: to seek ways of improving and enhancing all that we do to develop enquiring minds and a lifelong love of learning in preparation for life in the 21st Century.

Confident: to ensure that we provide opportunities that allow pupils to develop their confidence through learning and co-curricular opportunities.

Aspirational: to prepare for the future, always seeking to improve, and approaching each challenge and opportunity with energy, optimism and a growth mind-set.

Respectful: to encourage self-respect, care for others and have an active interest in the world beyond the school.

Enthusiastic: to embrace new challenges and enjoy the opportunities afforded to pupils by being part of the school community.

Our Golden Rules are: • We are kind, polite and helpful • We listen • We are honest • We work hard • We look after property

Keeping Healthy - Snacks and Water Bottle We encourage children to keep their hearts and minds healthy by being active, eating a balanced diet and sleeping well. Children may bring a healthy snack such as fruit, crackers, cereal bar, popcorn or a bread bun (no sweets, chocolate or crisps) to enjoy at morning break time.

Children should have a bottle of water (named) at school every day.

Homework

•

There is a specific deadline for homework completion (Tuesday) which will allow pupils to balance their workload and allow homework to fit in with other family commitments.

We believe that homework supports the development of independent learning by encouraging and extending learning beyond the confines of the classroom and timetable. It is our aim to provide regular and appropriate homework tasks which

Parent Information First Aid and Standards of Dress First Aid and Injury/Illness

Standards of Dress and Appearance

First Aid in school is provided for injuries incurred in school. If you need to send your child to school with medication to take during the day, please clearly label it, accompanied with the Pupil Medication Request Form, and hand to the Prep School Office or First Aid Room.

In the interest of health and safety, hair should be kept clean and tidy and should not hang over the face. Long hair should be tied back securely for practical lessons. Hair bands and slides, if worn, should be discreet and in one of the school colours – navy blue or maroon.

Children should not be sent to school unless they are healthy enough to go outside to play and take part in PE and Games lessons. If a child has an injury that forces them to miss Games, a note/email should be sent to their classteacher.

Jewellery, Watches and Make-up

If your child has suffered infective sickness or diarrhoea (e.g. the norovirus), they should be kept at home for 48 hours following the last episode (Health Protection Agency guidelines). Although a child may appear well, they are still infectious for this 48-hour period.

Any medical enquiries or concerns about your child’s health/illness or return to School should be addressed to the First Aiders who will be happy to discuss this with you at any time. The First Aiders can be contacted on Hull.

Nurse@hullcollegiateschool.co.uk or on 01482 579121.

Pupils are not permitted to wear jewellery in school (except in exceptional circumstances). Only discreet, stud-type earrings are acceptable and must be removed for sports activities. Watches should be unobtrusive to support the pupil to tell the time. Simple analogue black or navy watches are suitable. Any colour smartwatches/Fitbits are also permitted.

Please refer to the Prep School handbook for the full uniform list.
