Love one another
as I have loved you, so shall all men know you are my brothers, that you love
one another
This is what sets
St. Paul's apart, that as members of God's family through baptism we recognise
our call to love and to service.
Consequently, each
member of the school undertakes to maintain the highest standards of courtesy,
co-operation and honesty working to the best of our ability to enable us to
grow into our full potential.
At St Paul's we
recognise the right of every individual to be safe at all times and accept
the responsibility of ensuring that we never cause a person to feel unsafe
by our actions or by our failure to act.
It is impossible
to list all those standards of behaviour expected of the members of our school.
Clearly anything
against the law is forbidden, including:
- threatening behaviour or physical
violence
- vandalism or theft of property
- use of any illegal substance
- racist or sexist behaviour
- leaving litter
- truancy
The governors, parents, staff and pupils of St. Paul's School
have been involved in devising this Code of Conduct and every individual is
expected to act in accordance with the principles laid down.
We show our concern for others in the way in which we act.
It is the responsibility of each one
of us to:
Worship together
- in morning assembly
- subject teachers lead prayers
at the end of the day
- form tutors ensure the morning
and afternoon session begins with a prayer
Be forgiving

ready to be forgiven
Be considerate

our actions cannot hurt or cause offence

or bad language

our school community by our behaviour

code
