Councillor's Detention

Break detentions will be given to pupils for minor offences such as being late for school on the second offence and having the wrong uniform unintentionally, such as a shirt untucked. This detention will take place during second break in the Gym and a councillor on duty will take it. More serious offences such as wearing the wrong uniform intentionally, such as no belt or make-up, swearing or being rude to a councillor, or two break detentions in a week, will be given Friday afternoon detentions which take place from 14.30 to 15.30 in C7. Detention will be taken by the Councillors, and supervised by the Head of Leadership. The pupils on detention will be required to perform community projects – cleaning of desks, field weeding etc.

Pupils who do not attend detention will be given another detention the following week. If they fail to attend their second detention they will be put into a Deputy Head's Detention.

A pupil with three Councillor's detentions will be given a Deputy Head's Detention, which will be held on Friday 14.45 – 16.45 and will be supervised by a senior member of staff. The pupil should report to the Deputy Head: Pupil Matters who will then escort him/her to the detention venue.

Pupils may not excuse themselves from detention. Pupils who are unable to attend a detention must provide a letter from their parents to the Head of Leadership (in the case of Councillor's Detention), Grade Tutor (in the case of Academic Detention), Deputy Head: Pupil Matters (in the case of Deputy Head's Detention) by Friday morning. Their detention will be transferred to the following week.
