Great Torrington School believes in good behaviour and achieving the best you can for yourself, your family, your tutor group, your year group and the school. Everyone has a responsibility to act safely, treat others with respect and allow others to learn. And the right to feel safe, be treated with respect, and learn.

Please follow the Great Torrington School Code Of Conduct:

• Arrive on time for school and attend Tutor Group/assembly each morning at 8.45am.
• Go straight to my lessons to allow a prompt uninterrupted start to the lesson.
• Walk in single file, not running or shouting, and maintaining quiet and calm behaviour in corridors.
• Wear my school uniform correctly.
• Remember that GTS is a mobile-free site – if a phone is needed for journeys, hand them in at the beginning of the school day in the Dining Hall.
• Listen to members of staff and follow instructions politely and calmly.
• Put litter in a bin.
• Never damage school property.
• Use ICT within guidelines set in the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
• Attend sanctions at the time set to avoid further escalation.
• Leave undesirable items at home: vapes, tobacco, lighters, matches, knives etc.
• Never use offensive language, insult, undermine or swear at anyone.
• Remember you are always an ambassador for GTS. Leave school and make your way home in an orderly, responsible way.
• When travelling on designated buses and public transport, respect those around you, speaking to peers, bus drivers and members of the public quietly and politely.

These standards, and many others, are discussed, reminded, and lived constantly throughout the day, and every pupil and member of staff is familiar with them.
