The Rollo Academy is a community built upon the principles of mutual respect, care and support. It is the expectation that all students will behave in a way that is civilised and that they will treat all in our school with dignity, kindness and respect.

The aim of this policy is to:
a) Promote and safeguard the welfare of all of our students.
b) Provide an orderly, calm and safe environment in School that supports artistic and academic teaching and learning, and enables students to make good progress according to their ability and strive to do their best.
c) Promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect.
d) To ensure all students feel safe at the school, knowing that bullying, physical threats or abuse are not tolerated
e) Promote good manners and an appropriate regard for authority.
f) Prevent discrimination of any kind including race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, human rights or any other factor.
g) Ensure that staff consider whether the behaviour under review gives cause to suspect that a student is suffering, or is likely to suffer significant harm. In such a case the school will follow the Safeguarding Policy. In the case of disruptive behaviour, the parent of the child/children involved will be contacted by the Principal to discuss the matter 

Recognising and promoting good behaviour is an essential process in the development of an orderly and happy school. Staff are encouraged, and will look for ways, to praise individuals and groups for good behaviour and acts of kindness which make a positive contribution to school life.
