Attendance & Behaviour
Attendance
At Olive High Boys it is recognised that the responsibility for promoting school attendance and punctuality is shared by the staff, parents, carers and the pupil. Within school there is a professional responsibility for all staff to support attendance and punctuality. We encourage all students to work towards and strive for 100% attendance and set a minimum attendance target of 98% per year. Excellent attendance is celebrated and recognised on a regular basis such as whole form celebrations that have 100% attendance and at the end of each term during our celebration assembly.
At Olive High Boys, we reserve the right to withdraw a pupil’s place if they take extensive unauthorised holidays during term time and give to another pupil on our waiting list. Please see our Attendance Policy in the policies section.
Behaviour
We aim to focus on positive behaviour at all times, however there are unfortunately occasions when a minority of pupils let themselves, the school and others down through their unacceptable or inappropriate behaviour. When bad behaviour does take place there is an expectation from children and adults alike that appropriate sanctions should be applied. These are clearly understood by staff and pupils and are consistent across all classes, with due regard to the age of the pupil. They are progressive and are relative to the frequency or severity of the inappropriate behaviour.
