Our Vision

At Holly Lodge we believe in ambition: for students’ achievements, conduct and future pathways. We believe in opportunity, in noticing what we are lucky to have and in seizing the chances we have in life. And we believe in community: in serving each other through respect, kindness and responsibility.

Why Behaviour is important

At Holly Lodge everyone has a right to learn and feel safe. We strive for every young person to be the best version of themselves and to reach that goal. It is integral that everyone is able to access learning in a safe, conducive environment. Therefore we have rules and a behaviour framework to ensure that this vision can be enacted.

Our Written Statement of Behaviour Principles

  • Every pupil understands they have the right to feel safe, valued and respected, and that every pupil understands they have a right to learn; free from the disruption of others.
  • All pupils, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination.
  • Staff and volunteers set an excellent example to pupils at all times.
  • Rewards, sanctions and all other components of managing behaviour are used consistently by staff, in line with the behaviour policy.
  • The behaviour policy is understood by pupils and staff.
  • The exclusions policy explains that exclusions will only be used as a last resort, and outlines the processes involved in suspensions and exclusions.
  • Pupils are helped to take responsibility for their actions.
  • Families and carers are involved and informed of/in the handling of behaviour incidents to foster good relationships between the school and pupils’ home life.
  • ClassCharts is used as our reporting system and parents/carers must ensure they engage with the platform regularly in line with the home school agreement.
