We are incredibly fortunate that the day-to-day behaviour of our students is exceptional, and our approach reflects our ongoing drive to foster a positive and supportive environment based on our school values of kindness, involvement, and aspiration.

Acknowledging and rewarding students for positive behaviours, achievements, contributions and progress is central to daily life at South Wilts. It is important that the students know we value all the positive things they do. Staff award House points linked to a framework of positive expected behaviours rooted in our school values.

We believe that it is crucial to provide a consistent framework of support to help the development of individual responsibility and so there are sanctions in place if a student breaches the school policies regarding their behaviour. Sanctions include detentions for any repeated behaviours or for some more serious behaviours. Students can also be put on report to monitor progress in lessons and/or lunchtime if they accrue sufficient behaviour points.

Communication with parents is crucial and they are invited in to discuss problems such as poor behaviour patterns or truancy. Bullying will not be tolerated and will be punished at the appropriate level. All sanctions are appropriate to the problem and administered with discretion. Individual cases will be considered and appropriate action taken, along with reasonable adjustments.
