Our Behaviour Expectations

 

Behaviour at Marston Vale Middle School

At MVM we prefer to concentrate on rewarding good behaviour but we are also quick to deal with behaviour which is not conducive to the positive learning community we wish to create.

We expect pupils to be ready, respectful and responsible in each lesson. Students may receive break, lunchtime or after-school detentions for failing to meet the standards of MVM, usually run by the teacher or Heads of Year and Senior Leadership Team.  Members of the Senior Leadership team hold after school detentions from 3.30 pm - 4.30 pm every day for those who have not responded to previous consequences.

If there are any significant or sustained behaviour concerns it will be necessary to consider further sanctions such as, an internal isolation, suspension, alternative provision or permanent exclusion. Behaviours of this nature will undertake decisions of this nature. 

The school takes rewards and consequences very seriously and we expect parents to support the school’s decisions with regard to the use of both.

 It is also important to note that all staff work hard to support all pupils. When working in partnership to address behaviours it is imperative parents and staff communicate in person or via telephone with calmness and kindness at all times.
