How to issue an Academic Detention

Follow these easy steps to putting pupils on an academic detention.


 * 1) AFTER a pupil has been given 3 warnings in your class (and you have put measures in place to correct this deviant behavior such as contacting the parents etc.), then you may start the process of issuing an Academic Detention.
 * 2) E-mail the name of the pupil to the Grade Tutor to check that they don’t already have a detention or if there isn’t a good excuse for their work not to be done (ie: parent in hospital etc.)
 * 3) When the Grade Tutor has replied to say you may continue, please fill their name in on ADAM. On the ‘Pupil’ screen, there is a place to ‘Add Disciplinary Record’.
 * 4) Type in the pupil’s name and choose ‘Detention’.
 * 5) This detention will record Academic Detention and Deputy Head’s Detention so it is essential that you record in the ‘Notes’ section that this is an Academic Detention, subject and reasons. It is not necessary to put the date or your name, this is recorded automatically.
 * 6) When this is done ‘Record Disciplinary Action’ and close. The teacher on Academic Detention will be able to find a list here on Friday morning to see who must attend.
 * 7) You MUST then e-mail the parent of this pupil to inform them of the detention date and time. Please remember to CC the Grade Tutor in this communication.
 * 8) Finally, the work for this detention needs to be dropped off in the Academic Detention pigeonhole in Biddy’s office by the Friday morning of the detention. The work that may be done is outstanding work for marks and then pupils must either complete subject related tasks or copy subject matter. Please indicate which pages in the textbook. Teacher on duty will return the written out work and textbook to this same place for you to collect on the Monday.

'''NOTE: Three Academic Detentions will result in a Head’s Detention. This is very serious.'''
