Reflect |
If the behaviours persist: The student they will be given 5-minute reflection time-outside the classroom to regulate their behaviour |

|
Remove |
If the behaviour persists the student will be removed from the lesson |
The student will be removed from the lesson and complete work in a nearby classroom with a teacher. They will also receive a 1 hour detention |
Outside of lessons:
A student who signs in late at reception (after 8:20am) will be issued a lunchtime detention for 40 minutes and should report to the Assembly Hall as soon as lunchtime begins. Students will ALWAYS have the chance to get lunch
Detentions may also be issued for contravening Barnhill’s Behaviour in the Community policy. where their behavior is dangerous or disrespectful to themselves or others, or stopped others from learning or staff from teaching.
Students are responsible for attending their detentions and can check the time and location of any detention on the board outside the Pastoral Support Managers’ office.
Deliberately missing a lunchtime detention will result in an after-school detention of one hour and a notification will be sent home.
The Head of Year will contact home if students fail to attend an after-school detention. The consequence of missing more than one detention could include the loss of break and lunch times.
A student will receive a two hour after-school detention on a Friday overseen by a member of the Senior Leadership Team if they fail to report to the Referral Room to serve their loss of break and lunch time sanctions issued by the Head of Year.
Should a student choose not to attend the SLT supervised detention, the student will spend an extended day in the Referral Room. Parents will be contacted by the Head of Year, Pastoral Support Manager or member of SLT who will explain the escalation process and the opportunities that the student was given to comply with the school policy.
