6. The Golden Rule We expect all students to follow our GOLDEN RULE: Shirley High School students are expected to show consideration and respect to all members of the school and local community at all times.

7. The ABC of Success We believe that students will be successful if they focus on their ABC: – Attendance – Behaviour – Commitment

8. Attendance and Punctuality The biggest barrier to achievement in year 11 is non-attendance (including poor punctuality). Please get in touch as soon as possible if there are any issues concerning attendance. attend@shirley.croydon.sch.uk

9. Behaviour Policy Our new Behaviour Policy can be found on the school website along with our Attendance and Punctuality; Assessment, Recording and Reporting, and Homework policies. These new policies are designed to ensure improved consistency across the school. Please take the time to read these documents.

10. Uniform Tie, jumper (and skirts for girls) should be bought from Hewitts. We ask you to follow the school uniform policy to ensure uniform is consistent throughout the school. Plimsolls and trainers are not part of the school uniform. Students wearing incorrect footwear will be asked to change. Year 11 students do NOT need to wear blazers, but if they choose not to, they must wear a jumper instead. Hats and hoodies should not be worn on the school site at any time and will be confiscated. This is for the safety of all members of the school community.

11. Equipment Pencil case Pen x 2 Pencil Rubber Pencil sharpener Ruler Glue

12. Student Planners Students are expected to have their student planner with them at all times. Planners must be produced immediately if requested by any member of staff. The planner is the simplest form of home/school communication. Please check it regularly and contact your son/daughter's tutor if you have any concerns.

13. Expectations We expect ALL students will achieve 5 A* -C GCSE grades by the end of Year 11. Attainment grades in Key stage 3 show this is possible This can only be achieved if students, staff and parents work together. Please feel free to email me on fhu@shirley croydon.sch.uk if you have any questions or concerns.
