A2L – Attitude to Learning

At The Warriner School our 'Attitude to Learning' strategy has been designed to develop a consistent, positive behaviour culture, that supports a safe and calm learning environment. Our approach continues to be rooted in relational practice. We prioritise restorative conversations between students and staff to promote accountability and reinforce our high expectations across both classroom and the wider school context.

Attitude to Learning ensures high support and high challenge to permeate through all aspects of school life. The foundation to this are three key words:  Responsible, Respectful and Ready – they are our values.

Positive behaviour, seen in consistent & diligent work, taking the initiative and following the ethos set by the classroom teachers and the whole school community, is widely rewarded.

However, if a student’s behaviour falls short of our expectations, detention will be allocated for the following five categories:

· Uniform – Ready

· Equipment – Ready

· Failed Departmental Reset – Responsible

· Lateness – Responsible

· Truancy – Responsible

These steps are for guidance however, a teacher may begin to sanction at any step-in order to protect the positive Attitude to Learning within the room and can be altered if the teacher feels a restorative conversation can be completed.

Consequences:

CCU (Compulsory Catch-up) – Limited classwork or homework • Poor effort

D5 are issued when the student has repeatedly not followed the stages of the A2L sanctions and have chosen to ignore opportunities to correct their behaviour. Heads of Year or The Warriner Learning Centre staff will contact the student’s parents to inform them of appropriate sanctions.
