BEHAVIOUR POLICY
JETS has a three warning policy with regards to in-class behaviour. Students will be given two warnings and
on the third warning a letter will be sent home inviting a discussion on the behaviour. We aim to have a fun
safe environment here at Jets and need to maintain a high standard of respect towards each other. No form of
misbehaviour or bullying will be tolerated. On the other hand if a student is not happy due to
another please approach me as soon as it happens so it can be resolved. Parents thank you for your support in
keeping Jets a fun and happy place to be.
COLLECTING CHILDREN AFTER CLASS
Jets Duty of Care legally ceases at the end of class time and whilst we try to make sure all students are safe I cannot
have eyes in over 30 directions. Ultimately it is still the responsibility of parents/carers. If someone else is going to collect your child please let me know….because I care.
