Examinations and Annual Showcase.

Behaviour Policy.
At The Stage Door Academy, we aim to maintain a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which all children are encouraged to have respect for themselves, each other and all staff. Bad behaviour within the school will not be tolerated and is taken very seriously. The Stage Door Academy recognises that behaviour could be a sign that for some individuals there is an unfulfilled need, and that the behaviour is communicating that there is a problem. The Stage Door Academy will use reasonable endeavours to make any necessary adjustments to reduce the stimulus that may be triggering the challenging response. After all necessary adjustments have been made to address the challenging behaviour, the following system will be followed:
Green – warning to all students in class regarding unacceptable behaviour. Reminding the class of what behaviour is expected from them and how we respect ourselves, others, and staff at all times.
Yellow – Message to parent/guardian regarding unacceptable behaviour and asking parents/guardians to talk with their child about acceptable behaviour in class.
Red – Formal warning in writing to parent/guardian outlining the measures that have been taken within class to try and reduce the behaviour displayed and an exact explanation of the behaviour causing concern.
After all steps in the traffic light system have been completed and the behaviour has still not improved or reoccurs, the child/children in question will be asked to leave the school.
Fire Safety and Evacuation Procedure.
