3. Holidays

Holidays during term time will not normally be approved. Please inform the Head Teacher if you wish to take your child out of school during term time.

4. Rewards

The College operates a rewards system where pupils receive recognition for attendance, attitude to learning, punctuality and involvement in the ‘Out-of-Hours-Learning’ programme.

5. Detentions

Detentions will be issued in line with the College’s new ‘Behaviour for Learning’ policy. Detentions are compulsory. They will take place after College and will last for one hour.

6. Uniform

Please see uniform list previously supplied. Would carers / parents please ensure that their daughter / son wear their correct uniform everyday, only black shoes are acceptable.

7. Jewellery

May we remind you that no jewellery is permitted to be worn, apart from a wristwatch.

8. Timetables

Pupils will receive their timetables in September. We operate a two-week timetable with a different sequence of lessons in Week 1 and Week 2. It is important that parents and pupils become familiar with the timetable and prepare their school bag the night before.

9. Homework

Pupils will be provided with a homework timetable in September. The timetable will indicate when your child should receive homework and from which subjects. Failure to complete homework will result in a sanction in line with the College’s ‘Behaviour for Learning’ policy.

10. Equipment

Pupils must come to school with the necessary equipment, carried in a bag. Pupils must bring a minimum of a pen, pencil, rubber, ruler and planner to all lessons in order to promote and assist learning. Regular equipment checks will be carried out in College.
Each pupil will be given their own school planner in September.

11. Paying for lunch

The average price of the school meal is £2.00. Pupils can pay for lunches everyday or once weekly by updating their accounts with money using the biometric scanning system.

12. Planners

Pupils will be expected to use their planners to record the homework that is set each day and when it is due. Pupils should keep a copy of their timetable in their planner and parents should check their son / daughter’s planner and sign the relevant part each week. Form tutors will also check and sign planners to make sure pupils are using them correctly. If they lose this planner, they will be expected to purchase a replacement planner at the cost of £1.50.

13. Lockers

Pupils will be allocated a locker as soon as they arrive. The pupils rent their locker for 5 years at a cost of £2.00. If they lose their key they pay £2.75 for a replacement. Pupils do not get their £2.00 refunded in Year 11.

14. Lunch-time

All pupils will be expected to stay on campus at lunchtime.

15. School Buses

The College arranges a number of buses that travel to the various local areas. The College buses are a privilege for pupils, not a right; therefore any pupils who abuse this privilege will be refused access to the school buses. Where students have been issued with an after school detention, parents / carers will receive 24 hours notice to make alternative travel arrangements.

16. Home / School Agreement

The Home / School Agreement is signed by the parent, pupil and Headteacher to form a basis of the partnership that is essential for pupils to be successful in their careers at Wright Robinson College. We need to support each other to help your son / daughter achieve their full potential.
