At Spalding High School we expect all students to:

• Arrive promptly with all books and equipment;
• Focus quickly, show initiative and get actively involved in learning;
• Demonstrate excellent behaviour and concentration, and persevere;
• Seek advice about areas of uncertainty and respond positively to feedback;
• Meet deadlines and produce work to her/his highest standard, taking responsibility for her/his own learning; and,
• Have a good attitude to learning with involvement in class or group activities, while often collaborating effectively with others.

Code of Good Manners and Courtesy

• Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and always use polite and acceptable language;
• Refer to a member of staff by name e.g. ‘yes Mrs Jones/Mr Smith,’ and not ‘yeah’;
• Stand up if the Headmistress comes into the room, unless told not to;
• Keep to the left-hand side of corridors.
• Be prepared to let others pass in the corridors and through doors. Always let a member of staff through first;
• Help others who are holding things e.g. by holding doors open;
• Always walk in the corridors and classrooms and talk rather than shout;
• If you break or spill something, clear it up and/or report it to your form tutor, the lunchtime supervisors or reception; and,
• Do not eat or drink whilst moving around the school, dispose of your rubbish in the appropriate bin and take responsibility for helping to keep classrooms and other school areas tidy, including taking out the recycling.
