Bede’s Summer School

Student Handbook

Students' behaviour The school rules are designed with everyone's safety and well-being in mind. We would like you to have an unforgettable experience at Bede's Summer School and your behaviour will greatly contribute to it. Fantastic students will: • attend meetings and roll calls • participate in lessons, activities and excursions • be polite to all staff and students • help other students if they have a problem • keep their bedroom clean and tidy • turn their mobiles off in class and activities.

Prevent Bede's Summer School will promote the values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs. We will teach and encourage pupils to respect one another and to respect and tolerate differences, especially those of a different faith or no faith. We will ensure that all our teaching approaches help our pupils build resilience to extremism and give pupils a positive sense of identity through the development of critical thinking skills. We will ensure that all Bede's staff are equipped to recognise extremism and are skilled and confident enough to challenge it. Care of students All students will receive a safety induction, relevant to their age and needs, on arrival at Bede’s, which will cover:

Bede's will recognise your efforts and achievements if you do exceptionally well in the area of one of our values: • Be Compassionate • Be Courageous • Be Curious • Be Conscientious You will receive a certificate and an award to show special recognition. However, you will not have a great experience if you break the rules – and there will be consequences, depending upon how serious the offence is. There is a three step system, so the first offence will result in a warning, and if the behaviour escalates or is very serious, we will inform your parents and if necessary you will be asked to leave. The behaviours and consequences illustrated here are intended to be an example only.
