CFL Consequence Steps

Consequences system – The stepped approach.

Both Learning Tutors and teachers are the first stage in the stepped approach to dealing with inappropriate behaviour during Home Group Time or around the academy at break and lunch times or in lessons. They are also the key people in creating the right environment for learning; they set the tone and the standard by shaping learning that is engaging and meaningful. If a student is failing to meet the expectations of the academy, we aim to ensure we are all CONSISTENT in following the Culture for Learning steps (see below). By creating a ‘Culture for learning’ we will not only reduce the incidents we have, but ensure student progress is at the forefront of our discussions.
