Mobile Phone & Mobile Device Policy Mobile phones which are brought into College must be turned off and stored out of sight immediately you arrive on the premises. They must remain turned off and out of sight until you have left the College site at the end of the day.

If you are observed using a mobile phone by a member of staff for any reason, that member of staff will confiscate it immediately and take it to the College Reception for safe keeping.

Phones will be returned as outlined on the College’s ‘Mobile Phone & Mobile Device Policy’ which can be seen on the College’s website under ’Students’ and then ‘Safeguarding’.

Occasions may arise where there may be a legitimate reason for making use of mobile phone technology within a lesson. In this instance mobile phones can only be used if a teacher specifically requests that students use them within their lesson.

Please be aware that the College accepts no responsibility for the loss, theft or damage of any phone or other mobile devices brought into the College.

Page 11

Year 7 Guide 2017

* Items available from Thomas Moore and Honiton Sports Shop ** Trousers must not be excessively skinny or baggy and must be worn on the waist (not low-slung) and full length. No denim; no jean-style cut (with rear pockets and rear yoke seam); no ornate decorative buttons/ studs.

Top Tips!

Why don’t you tick off the list when you have got it ready.

Page 12

Year 7 Guide 2017

What Should I Wear for P.E. Lessons?

There is a College kit list. You will only need some of these things at special times of the year. Your P.E. teacher will explain.

*College rugby shirt with House colour and logo or Grey sweatshirt with hood and logo Navy blue shadow stripe and/or rugby shorts (no skin tight or micro-fibre shorts) Navy blue football socks Football boots Shin pads Mouthguard Trainers (non-marking soles) White gym socks *White polo shirt with logo Kit bag Astro shoes (optional) * Items available from Thomas Moore and Honiton Sports Shop

The Rugby Football Union recently issued this advice to parents:“Mouthguards are essential for body contact sports such as rugby and hockey. Properly made they provide protection for the teeth and soft tissues and help to prevent concussion. Mouthguards should be custom made from accurate upper and lower impressions of the mouth.”

Base Layers: In very cold weather, students may choose to wear a base layer technical top underneath their PE top if they wish to. The base layer must match the colour of their PE top, i.e., navy underneath the blue outdoor top and white underneath the white polo shirt.

Top Tips!

Why don’t you tick off the list when you have got it ready.

Make sure that your kit has got your name inside.

Year 7 Guide 2017

Tricks of the Trade Here are 10 of our favourite ideas to help you keep organised.

1.

Only have the things you need in your pencil case.

2.

Have a notepad to put spellings, notes etc in.

3.

Put a label on your books, so you can recognise which one it is - some of them will be the same colour!

4.

Pack your things for school the night before. Then you won’t be rushing around in the morning.

5.

Keep a spare pen. You never know when it will come in handy.

6.

Keep a copy of your timetable on display somewhere at home.

7.

Make sure you know if any lessons are different each week.

8.

Keep your Student Planner neat, it belongs jointly to you and the school

9.

Don’t draw on your school books. If you do, you will be charged for a new one.

10.

If you don’t understand the homework, ask the teacher right away.

They won’t bite your head off!

Top Tip! Try to collect your own list of Tricks of the Trade. Use them yourself, and pass them on to your friends.

Page 14

Year 7 Guide 2017

Homework Tips 1.

Write down the homework carefully in your Student Planner along with looking online at “Show my Homework”.

2.

Try and do your homework the night you get it. Don’t let it build up.

3.

Don’t do your homework while watching your favourite TV programme.

4.

Organise your homework around the other things you want to. Don’t try and do two things at once.

5.

When you get home, have a break before doing any homework.

6.

Don’t do your homework late at night.

7.

If you don’t understand the work you have been set, always ask the teacher who set it to help.

8.

Always write the homework you have been set in your Student Planner.

Make sure you understand what you have written down before you leave the lesson.

9.

Make sure you get your parent to check your Planner and sign it every week.

10.

Don’t spend too long on each homework but make sure you do your homework well, and try to get it to a good standard.

12.

Always hand your homework in on the day you have been asked to.

You should have written the date down in your Student Planner.

13.

Help is available from Student Support so do not hesitate to ask.

14.

It is planned to set up a Homework Club in the Autumn Term. Further details will be available when you start in September.

Year 7 Guide 2017

Registration You will register at 8.50 am in your tutor room. Your tutor will enter your name on their computer to mark you as present. At the end of lunch you should go straight to lesson 5.

If you arrive at the College late in the morning, you will need to go to Room 65 to be registered or you will be seen by the member of staff on the gate.

However, if you arrive after 09.00 am you will need to report to Reception.

Where possible we would ask you to try and arrange medical and other appointments at times outside of the school day. If you have a medical or other appointment that simply has to be in school time, ask your parent/ carer to give you a note. Please give the note to your tutor in advance.

They will make sure that your appointment is put on the computer system, so that your subject teachers know that you will away that day.

If you have to leave the College site during the day, to go to a medical appointment, remember to sign out at Reception before you leave and sign in again when you return.

If you are away from school ill, the procedure is that your parent/carer must ring the College before 9.10am on the first day to let us know, and on each subsequent day of illness. Your parent/carer will receive a text/phone call from the Office if we do not know where you are.

Subject staff will also register you in each lesson to monitor your attendance so that they will know whether or not you are in school, and if you are late.

Top Tips!

Make sure that you are in your tutor room when the bell goes at 8.50 am.

It is good manners to be silent when the teacher comes in. It is also easier to hear the register being called. You do not want to be marked absent just because you did not hear your name.

After the register stay quiet, because tutors often have notices to read out, about lunch time practices, meetings and other important things.

Year 7 Guide 2017

Student Support Department As well as teachers, your tutor and your Head of House, there are other staff in the College who are available to help students.

The Student Support room is situated on the ground floor in the centre of the College and is open from 8:45 am until the end of the school day. During break and lunch, Student Support is open for invited students to spend time playing games, joining in with additional clubs or available to provide a place for those students wishing to spend some quiet time.

The move to secondary school is a big change for all students. Sometimes extra help is needed at the beginning of Year 7 and sometimes we help students throughout their time at the College. You may find that at some stage you need some extra help.

The Student Support Team offer help in all kinds of situations. Some of the things that they can help with are as follows: Settling into the new school, finding your way around, getting organised with your books and equipment.

Settling into new friendship groups Organising your homework Literacy and numeracy skills Help with activities at lunchtimes or break times Help when you are finding that you don’t receive all of your ‘stamps’ Someone to talk to if you are feeling upset or worried about school or something that is happening outside of school.

Student Support has a team of Learning Mentors and other support staff. You may also find that you have a Learning Mentor in your lesson or you have contact with a Learning Mentor for some other reason.

We have an Inclusion Manager and a Director of Special Educational Needs , and their job is to help students who find that they need some additional help, either throughout their time in the College, or from time to time.

You can ask your tutor or your Head of House to introduce you to these staff. Everyone will do everything we can to help you settle in and make the most of your years at Sidmouth College.

Year 7 Guide 2017

Computers When you work on the computers in lessons, you will be using a PC. The main software you will be using is Microsoft Office and the Serif Creative Suite. It is a good idea to buy a memory stick.

Your Computer Science teacher will explain how you can use the Internet at school, and save your work onto the College network.

The College has its own Web Site. The address is:

www.sidmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk

The website is packed full of information about the College. You can take a virtual tour around the college site, find out about the exciting activities taking place at the college and much, much more!

When using the computers: 

   



You are responsible for staying safe while using the internet and other communication technologies for educational, personal and recreational use. You should not disclose or share personal information about yourself or others when online.

You will be protected from accidental or deliberate misuse that could put the security of the systems and users at risk.

The College will provide you with good access to ICT to enhance your learning, and in return, expect you to agree to be a responsible user.

Remember that access is a privilege, not a right and inappropriate use will result in that privilege being withdrawn or disciplinary action being taken.

If you need to use a computer for work you may be able to go to Student Support or Rooms 49 and 53. These rooms are normally open at breaktimes, lunchtimes and after school.

Your username and password should be like a toothbrush - do not share it, or try to use any other person’s username and password.

Year 7 Guide 2017

Lunch There is a wide range of healthy hot and cold meals on sale in the Restaurant every lunchtime.

Each year group takes it in turn to go into lunch first. When you are in Year 7, you are first into lunch on MONDAYS. A bell rings to tell when it is time to line up outside. Your tutor will show you where to wait.

Each day there is a set meal - in September it will remain at £2.30. Or you can choose from the wide selection of food and drink available.

If you receive free school lunches you are entitled to a packed lunch if you let the Canteen know when you are going on trips.

Bringing a Packed Lunch Keep it balanced – Some ideas on packed lunches The College Restaurant provides a wide variety of nutritious and healthy food. So why not make use of this service. However, we understand that some of you might want to bring a packed lunch.

Enjoy your lunch!

Year 7 Guide 2017

Attendance Understanding the importance of being on time: Students who are always on time are the students who earn the best grades, win scholarships, and get into the top universities. In the working world, employees who are consistently on time are more likely to be considered for promotions. Encouraging good punctuality gets students into the habit of doing things on time!

Students are expected to arrive at College in good time and to be in their tutor room ready for registration at 8.50am. If they arrive after this but before 8.55am (second bell) the tutor will record “L” on the register. The student will spend however long they were late with their tutor at break time. For example a student arriving at 8.54am will spend 4 minutes with their tutor at first break. To help with intervention during the detention explore the reasons behind the lateness and offer any advice or strategies that may be needed. If the student does not attend the break time detention, the tutor will record this as a C1 and inform both the student and Head of House. The tutor will enforce a 20 minute detention. If the student fails to attend the detention, the HOH will record a C2 and a lunchtime detention will be issued with HOH. For students arriving between 8.55am and 9.00am. They will register in Room 65 or on the gate with the Duty Leader for that day and be given a mark in the late register (the attendance officer monitors this and uses colour coding to highlight repeat offenders and issues a C1). Any late students will be expected to find the duty leaders at break time for a minimum of a 5 minute detention. If they do not attend this they will lose 25 mins of their lunchtime on duty with the leader on that day. If they do not attend this detention a C3 will be recorded and an SLT detention will be issued. Parents will also be contacted.

For students arriving after 9.00am. They will register at the front office. Tutors should not register them but send them to the Front Office. This late will be recorded as “U”.

The parent will be contacted by the attendance officer and the lateness recorded on SIMS as a C2. The student will be informed that they have the responsibility to be on time and if three late marks occur in a half term they will attend and SLT after college detention. The HOH will be aware of this lateness on their SIMS home page.

Students who are late on 3 occasions will be given an SLT detention. The HOH Admin Assistant will issue the ‘Late Detention' list each Monday and send an email to HOH and tutors for checking.
