Another week of ‘firsts’: our first ever National offer Day, first official newsletter to our prospective parents and another site visit, which although not a ‘first’ was certainly the first time we saw skilled professionals on stilts. So impressive! https://t.co/mtACQsPMgs

First official site visit today! This is when you realise that a staircase not only leads to a phenomenal view. It is also truly symbolic of a vision coming together. https://t.co/kOV9jmN28z

Behaviour and rewards

Our expectations of you as our students is that you will be excellent ambassadors of yourselves, who learn from your mistakes and

  • know and abide by our key behaviour rules
  • learn how to develop positive learning behaviours
  • live and breathe The Clapham Commitment
  • are happy, feel safe and develop into the best version of yourselves you can possibly be.

You will know from the discussions we have had with you in the academy, that our behaviour expectations are really clear and simple: that you will be prepared, that you will be exemplary and that you will be respectful:

The 3 rules

For me as a student:

Be prepared - ready to learn.
  1. I have the right equipment
  2. I get to my lesson on time and settle quickly and quietly
  3. I do my homework well.

Be exemplary in the way I present myself - manners, pride and kindness
  1. I wear the correct uniform
  2. I am polite and kind all the time and I never bully anyone
  3. I never shout out.

Be respectful – to others, to the environment and to myself
  1. I don’t drop litter anywhere
  2. I listen and respect the views of others
  3. I never make anyone feel unsafe (no cussing, no physical contact).

You will also know that we will always aim to support before we sanction and that rewards play a major role in the academy. These include:

  • Tweets/texts home
  • Phone calls home
  • Letters home
  • Shout outs in assembly
  • Clapham Credit notes
  • Clapham Crystals* (exceptional evidence of going above and beyond)
  • Invitation to rewards breakfast/evening
