Readiness for Learning These are the expectations and standards for every classroom in West Hill School. They are for the benefit of every pupil and are non negotiable.

Presentation How you present yourself is important. Many organisations, whether school or employment, have expected standards of dress. West Hill School must prepare you for that, as such, the following must be adhered to: • School uniform must be worn smartly at all times; shirt tucked in, top button fastened, ties worn correctly and plain black belts only.

• Unusual hairstyles are not allowed. Long hair must be neatly tied back and jewellery should not be worn.

• When you enter a building, remove hoods or hats. On entering a classroom, remove your coat.

• Refer to female teachers as Ma’am and male teachers as Sir. Readiness for learning Arriving to lessons in the frame of mind for learning is essential to ensure a prompt start and the ability to process information. To facilitate that, the following are essential: • When moving about school keep to the left, move quietly and with purpose.

Keep to paths and steps.

• Be punctual to registration and all lessons.

• Your teacher will greet you at the door. Follow the routines your teacher has established, to enable a prompt start to lessons.

• Get out your planner and place it on the desk. Make sure you have the correct equipment (see page 6).

• When leaving a classroom you will be dismissed by your teacher. Leave in a quiet and orderly manner.

Your learning is our priority and, as such, it is important that you: • Are ready to learn.

• Are respectful of all members of the West Hill School community.

• Are responsible for your actions. Nobody has the right to prevent others from learning.

Home Learning Home learning is both important and necessary. It provides opportunities for reinforcement of work learned during the school day by allowing you to review and practise what has been covered in class, and helps you prepare for the next day’s learning.

Home learning helps develop positive study skills and habits that will serve you well throughout life. More importantly it teaches you to work independently and to take some responsibility for your own learning.

Studies have shown that pupils who regularly complete home learning to a good standard are likely to perform significantly better in academic examinations at 16 years old, and beyond, than those who do not.

Always note the details of home learning in your planner when it is given to you.

Make sure you note the date it is due to be handed in. Try to plan ahead so that your home learning is not left to the last minute.

Try to do your home learning at the same time each day. Choose a time when you can be quiet and away from distractions. Always take pride in what you do and praise and success will follow.

After school home learning clubs are provided in each Year Group to help pupils establish good home learning routines. These are optional unless a pattern of not completing home learning is detected. When this occurs attendance at home learning club is made compulsory for an agreed period of time.

My home learning club takes place on in room

Cycling to School We would like to encourage as many pupils as possible to use public transport, walk or cycle to school. We have excellent cycle storage facilities on site. To be allowed to store a cycle on site all pupils and parents must sign and adhere to the following agreement.

I understand and agree with the following conditions under which my son may cycle to school: 1. Pupils must only store bikes in the designated storage facilities nowhere else in school.

2. Riding bikes on the school site is strictly forbidden and boys must walk with them to the storage area.

3. A cycle helmet must be worn on the way to and from school.

4. The cycle should be regularly checked and maintained.

5. To deter theft, an appropriate lock should be used to lock the bike during the day.

6. Pupils using their bike in periods of darkness will ensure they have working lights and make an effort to be visible to other road users by wearing appropriate safety clothing.

I understand that school will take all reasonable steps to ensure general security throughout the day but are not responsible for any damage or loss that may occur.

I give my consent for my son to cycle to school and will ensure the above conditions are followed.

General Property - It is extremely helpful both to yourself and your teachers if your equipment and clothing has your name on it in the event of something being lost.

Lost Property - It is highly likely that you will lose something during your time at school. We all depend on one another to be responsible and honest. If you find an item of equipment or clothing please either hand it to your teacher or take it to the reception office. If you have lost something, check first at the reception office.

Use of biometric data - The school uses two systems that rely on the capture of biometric data: cashless catering in the canteen and access to buildings.

When a finger is scanned the entire fingerprint is never stored. The data that is captured is based on the distances between significant parts of the fingerprint and a fingerprint cannot be recreated from this.

If you cannot get into buildings because your finger scan doesn't work or you cannot pay for items in the canteen using the finger scanner, then you must inform your Form Tutor.

Dining Room Facilities - We operate a breakfast service every morning before school begins, a break time service and the main lunchtime service which is a cafeteria service with a wide range of choices.

Harrison Catering operate a cashless catering system at West Hill School.

Therefore no cash can be accepted at the till points in the school dining room.

For more information on the services provided by Harrison Catering, please refer to the school website: School Life Æ Catering.

Packed lunches can also be consumed in the hall at lunchtimes.

School Council - The School Council is a group of boys who are elected to represent the views of all pupils. It is through the School Council that you can have your voice heard, and this is how the Headteacher and Trustees learn what improvements you want to see at West Hill. It is made up of form councillors, year councillors, the head and the deputy head of the School Council. Individual ideas are first discussed in form time. Then form councillors pass on your views to the year councillors, who then represent you at the School Council. Meetings are usually held once every half term.

Examinations - Please refer to the school website for information on examinations.

Privacy Notice - Details on how we use pupil information in school can be found here: https://www.westhillschool.co.uk/about-us/data-protection

Home School Agreement The Home School Agreement is intended to show, in brief terms, what the parents and the school may reasonably expect from each other and both parties are asked to endorse it.

The agreement is set out below and you are invited to sign this. You do not have to sign the agreement and if you do not wish to do so there will be no negative reaction on our part. If you do sign the agreement it will not be legally binding.

The parents will: 1. See that their son attends school punctually and is properly equipped every day unless there is an unavoidable reason.

2. Let the school know about any problems that might affect their son’s work or behaviour.

3. Support the school’s policies and rules governing codes of conduct and appearance, including e-safety & acceptable ICT use.

4. Support their son in all aspects of school work.

5. Show an interest in their son’s education by attending parent’s consultation evenings, and reading and signing reports.

6. Encourage their son to support the school’s extracurricular programme.

Punctuality Punctuality is an important part of self-discipline and is essential to good time management.

If you arrive late to school, and it is after registration, please report to the main reception office to sign in. Lateness will be recorded on SIMS. There may well be a valid reason for arriving late but in such circumstances you should bring a note from home explaining the reason for your lateness.

Attendance Regular attendance at school is compulsory by law.

It is essential that your attendance is good if you are to benefit from your education. We insist, therefore, that medical and other appointments be arranged outside school hours whenever possible.

School has to distinguish between “authorised” and “unauthorised” absence when we mark the registers. Absence may only be authorised if it is for reasons which are exceptional or unavoidable and has been applied for in advance.

If you are going to be absent from school unexpectedly or if you are ill, your parents should phone the Attendance Officer before 8:45 am to let us know the reason for your absence. On return to school you must have a signed note from your parents explaining the nature of your absence.

Family holidays should not be arranged during term time.

Guidance on the Use of Personal Mobile Devices • School is NOT responsible for individuals’ personal mobile devices being damaged, lost or stolen. Items are brought to school at the individuals’ own risk.

• All personal mobile devices should be switched off at all times and stored in the pupil's bag or blazer pocket whilst on the school grounds or on a school organised activity off-site, except when explicit permission has been given by a member of staff.

• If a member of staff has given permission for the use of personal mobile devices, they MUST only be used as directed by the member of staff and their use MUST comply with the school's ICT Policies.

Sanctions for the Unauthorised use of Personal Mobile Devices • Personal mobiles devices are not to be seen in use on the school site, unless they have been permitted for use by a member of staff.

• The sanction for unauthorised use of a mobile device is confiscation. It is at the member of staff's discretion whether the mobile device is returned at the end of the day or placed in the school safe overnight. Mobile devices placed in the school safe will require written permission from parents/carers for it to be returned.

• Repeat occurrences will result in the pupil being referred to their Head of Year and longer periods of confiscation.

West Hill SK15 1LX.indd 11

10/06/2020 20:47:54

Detentions All teachers and support staff can issue personal detentions.

• Detentions may be held at break-time, lunchtime or after school. It is for the member of staff issuing the detention to determine the day, time and length of the detention.

• Personal detentions can vary in length from a few minutes up to 60 minutes long depending upon the reason for the detention.

• Detentions after school of 15 minutes or less can be given on the same day without communication with home.

• Detentions after school hours greater than 15 minutes but less than 30 minutes can be given on the same day of issuing, but the teacher must ensure that communication with parents or carers has been made prior to the start of the detention.

• Detentions of longer than 30 minutes, parents will receive 24 hours’ notice.

• Parental consent is not required for detentions.

Protecting Learning Detention All pupils are entitled to learn and those who disrupt the learning of others will attend a Protecting Learning Detention (PLD). This is a whole school detention which takes place every Tuesday from 2:55pm to 3:55pm in S33. Failure to attend a Protecting Learning Detention will result in a 1hr 30min detention from 2:55pm to 4:25pm on the Friday of the week the PLD was missed.

Prohibited Items We pride ourselves on the safety of everyone in our school community. To maintain this, certain items are prohibited from being brought onto our school site. Examples of prohibited items (not exhaustive) include: weapons (of any kind); items with the potential to cause bodily harm; cigarettes or smoking paraphernalia and e-cigarettes. The consequences of not adhering to our policy on prohibited items can be very serious. Confiscated items will not be returned to pupils under any circumstances.

Independent Learning at West Hill School What is independent learning?

Independent learning is when you are able to think, act and work on your own without the same levels of support you receive in school. Independent learners are good problem solvers, but they also know when to seek help.

To become a good independent learner you need to be:

  Motivated   Resilient   An excellent time manager

Why is independent learning important?

Independent learning is not just important to become a good student. The skills you gain are transferrable to most jobs in the future. These include:

     

     

Motivation Independence Initiative Time management Organisation and multi-tasking Strong reading and writing skills

Becoming an independent learner at West Hill School In every year at West Hill School you will study independent learning skills during form time and you will be expected to use these skills in lessons and at home.

Your teachers will help you practice these skills in lessons and set home learning to help you explore these skills.

How can I become an independent learner?   Read actively: You will need to be an active reader, paying close attention to the words you are reading and their meaning.

  Skim read: Speed read or skim material before reading it in detail.   Different sources: When doing research, try to draw from a variety of different sources e.g. use more than one book or website.

  Be persistent: If a task is challenging, don’t give up. Keep at it until you

understand what you need to do. Use strategies to help you become unstuck.

  Seek help where necessary: Independent learning does not mean working

alone without support or guidance. Asking for support and advice is an important part of independent learning. If you need help once you have read the instructions and had a go, ask for it!

  Discussions: If you want to expand an argument but are stuck for ideas, when

appropriate, get a debate going with friends or peers. This could help you think about an element you hadn’t considered before.

Independent Learning at West Hill School   Set goals: A good way to keep your motivation up is to think what you want to get out of your work and remind yourself next time you’re flagging.

  Effective time management: You will have lots of different home learning

tasks to do every week. Organise your time carefully; work out how long you will need to spend on each task, then allocate time in your evenings/weekends in order of priority.
