Class
Tutor & Year Head
Each
class group is assigned a Class Tutor. The Tutor takes special responsibility
for his or her group and encourages positive discipline and academic
performance. The Tutor meets his or her group each morning during
the Tutorial Period. The class register is checked during this time
and lateness and absences noted. The Tutor signs the Student Journal
regularly and may enter written observations on a students progress
and behaviour.
Each
year group (first year second year, etc.) has a Year Head. The Year
Head is responsible for the overall discipline, attendance, punctuality,
academic progress and pastoral development for the students within
a given year group. The school operates a Year Book system whereby
a teacher may make written reports to the Year Head regarding a
students progress and behaviour. (Please refer to the Code
of Discipline contained in this booklet.) Where a student is
given a Year Book entry, a note to this effect is written into the
student's journal by the relevant
teacher.
Student
Journal
Each
student must possess a Confey College Student Journal. This journal
contains an abridged copy of the Code of Discipline and affords
teachers the opportunity to make positive comments on student progress
and behaviour.
Code
of Discipline
We recommend that parents, together with their sons and daughters,
should study carefully the school's Code of Discipline. Students
who attend Confey College are deemed to have studied and to have
agreed to the Code of Discipline. The Code serves to
|
ensure
that teaching and learning can be undertaken in a caring, safe and
respectful environment and is there for the benefit of parents, students
and teachers.
Attendance
& Punctuality
Students are expected to attend school every day on time and in
full uniform. If, for some reason, a student cannot attend school
on a given day, a note, from a parent or guardian, explaining this
absence should be written into the students journal. This note should
then be presented to the students Class Tutor or Year Head. If a
student is required to leave the school early, a note to this effect
should be written into the student's journal by a parent/guardian.
The students Year Head should then sign the note and the student
must also 'sign-out' at the school Administration Office. Students
who come late to school must fill out a 'late card' and sign-in
at the Administration Office. The completed late card is signed
by a teacher and processed. Details on sanctions applicable for
poor punctuality are contained in the Code of Discipline.
Students
who are absent without permission will also have sanctions imposed
according to the Code of Conduct
Contacting
the School
We
welcome and encourage frequent, open and positive communications
with parents. In Confey College, much of this contact will be by
way of the student journal, parent/teacher meetings and school reports
and assessments. On some occasions, in the interests of good teaching
and learning, R may be necessary for a parent to be in more direct
contact with the school.
Schools
are very busy places and, as with any organisation, it is necessary
to put in place procedures for contacting the school. The Department
of Education & Science (Circular M18/99) recommends that parents
make a prior appointment to see the relevant teacher, tutor or Year
Head. In urgent cases, where a prearranged appointment is not appropriate,
the parent should, in the first instance, report to the school secretary.
