SCHOOL RULES

• All conduct that is anti-social, tends to bring discredit or disrepute to the School, whether on the premises, or elsewhere, is deemed a breach of School Rules.

• Disruption in lessons is not acceptable and will be dealt with firmly.

• Bullying is not acceptable in any form and pupils are educated in the School’s anti-bullying policy and must embrace it.

• We impose sanctions on any pupil who misuses technology to bully, harass or abuse another pupil in line with our anti-bullying policy.

• We impose sanctions on those who access pornography or sext with greater sanction of those who choose to disseminate images and material.

• Rossall strongly disapproves of the abuse of alcohol, drugs, legal highs, vaping and tobacco. The School will act accordingly and pupils should expect to be dealt with in accordance with the drugs, alcohol, smoking and vaping policy..

• Vandalism and theft will be dealt with firmly, but certainly the latter, likely to lead to permanent exclusion.

These points are supported by a system of rewards and, where necessary, appropriate sanctions. Sanctions will be at a level that reflects the severity of the offence, the possible influence on others and the maturity of the pupil. All pupils should read and be familiar with the School Rules and the Behaviour Policy.
