About your Planner
Code of Conduct
Times and Dates
This planner will help you to:
One of the basic elements of education is self-discipline. You
learn to control your own mind so that you do the things you
should do, not the things you want to do.
School Day
Plan your work
Review your progress
A high standard of self-discipline and behaviour is required from
all students. You are expected to take responsibility for your own
actions and to show courtesy and respect to staff, visitors and to
one another.
Set Targets for improvement
Take care of your property and respect other people’s property.
Manage your time
Record your achievements
All this is up to YOU . . .
Please move about the school in a quiet and orderly manner.
Keep to the left and do not run.
n Your planner will only be of benefit if you use it and keep all
the sections up to date.
Students must not enter classrooms, laboratories or workshops
until directed to do so by a teacher.
n Your teachers will help you with some of the details
but really it is up to you to include information which is
important to you.
Always pay careful attention during lessons and do not allow
your mind to wander —
n Remember to record things which you have achieved both in
and out of school.
Lesson-change bells are a signal to staff; do not pack-up your
books until the lesson is concluded by your teacher.
n When planning work make sure that you fully understand
what you have to do — if not then ask your teacher.
You are expected to obey all members of staff without argument.
If you feel that you have been unfairly treated then you may
appeal to the teacher concerned or Head of School at the end of
the school day.
Learn to Listen and Listen to Learn.

Presentation
Presentation of work is always important. Careless presentation
will create a bad impression on your reader who may be
distracted from what you have to say. Many readers will make
judgements about your general ability and even your attitude, if
the presentation of your work appears to be careless.

Subject
n Take care with layout making proper use of margins and
indented paragraphs. Write in blue or black ball point and
only use colour when this is necessary to aid presentation.
n Proof-read all work for spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Do not hope for the best – make sure your work is correct
otherwise your marks and grades will suffer in all subjects.
Students may bring fruit or cheese to be eaten outdoors during
morning and afternoon break times.
Packed lunches may only be eaten in the dining room unless
special permission has been given to eat in designated areas
outdoors during the summer. Hot and cold drinks may be
purchased from vending machines in the dining room.
The homework timetable in this planner will help you to organise
your work and time. Use the weekly diary to keep a check on
what you have to do and by when it must be completed.
Try to do your homework at the same time each day in a quiet
place where you are free from distraction.

You are likely to achieve more by working regularly for relatively
short periods (say 1 hour at a time) than in a single long session
when your concentration will lapse.
Above all plan ahead to make the best use of time and do not
leave projects, coursework or homework until the last minute!
