The ‘concerns’ feature on the Portal enables staff to write a short comment about any low-level behaviour incidents we wish to share with you.
A concern may be noted for things such as talking when a teacher is talking, or being impolite or unkind. The pupil will receive two warnings in most cases before we feel the need to share a concern. The concern itself does not constitute a punishment, it is a way of ensuring we are sharing information with you.
We rightly have high expectations for pupil behaviour. Receiving a concern doesn’t need to be a cause for alarm, or anything for the children to worry about but we will address patterns in concerns for individual pupils.
