Student Conduct

As a Meridian Trust school, Stratton exists to provide, support, and champion high-quality education at the heart of local community. We aim to unite our pupils, families, and other local stakeholders around this common purpose to share experience and resources, to improve standards and to maximise our contribution to their wider communities.

We are committed to ensuring that:

Every child has the right to learn, but no child has the right to disrupt the learning of others.
Everyone has a right to be listened to, to be valued, to feel and be safe. Everyone must be protected from disruption or abuse.
Our academy is an inclusive setting; all members of the school community should be free from discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010.
It is expected that all adults – staff, volunteers, and academy councillors – will always set excellent examples to the pupils and students.
We seek to give every child a sense of personal responsibility for his/her own actions.
The school’s Behaviour Policy will ensure that there are measures to encourage good behaviour, self-discipline, and respect, and prevent all forms of bullying amongst pupils
Where there are significant concerns over a pupil’s behaviour, we will work with parents to strive for common strategies between home and school.
We will seek advice and support from appropriate outside agencies where concerns arise over a child’s behaviour.
The school will fulfil its’ legal duties under the in respect of safeguarding, children with special educational needs and all vulnerable children.
