Code of Conduct

Secondary

There are four main rules which we expect all students to observe and memorise:

• Follow all instructions given by staff first time.

• Keep hands, feet, objects and inappropriate comments to yourself.

• Do all class work and homework, allow others to do theirs, and meet all deadlines.

• Be on time for class, be properly dressed and always have the right work and equipment with you.

 

Primary

In the primary phase there are 5 Golden Rules:

  1. We listen – we don’t interrupt.

  2. We work hard – we don’t waste our own or other’s time.

  3. We look after property – we don’t waste or damage things.

  4. We are gentle – we don’t hurt others.

  5. We are kind and helpful – we don’t hurt anybody’s feelings.

ACADEMY RULES

Our rules apply to all students not only when they are on the premises but also on their way to and from school. When our students are outside school they are ambassadors for Langdon Academy. Therefore, we will take action against any student who behaves in a way that brings the Academy into disrepute, irrespective of where and when such misbehaviour occurs.
