Behaviour and attendance guidance

Our school community is a place where young people can thrive, learn and achieve their best.

At OA-North View we offer our students flexible, personalised programmes and a wide range of learning opportunities and activities. Learning experiences are designed to help young people to develop the confidence to believe in themselves and make positive choices for their futures.

Behaviour

We believe all of our students have the ability and the right to learn and achieve. We support success by encouraging our young people to ‘dare to be Olive’.

Students are positively encouraged to:

Be ready to learn

  • We attend our school regularly and engage positively in all lessons.
  • We ask for help and we help others.
  • We take responsibility for our behaviour and meet Olive expectations.

Be respectful

  • We listen and are listened to.
  • We communicate with respect.
  • We respect our community and learning environment.

Be safe

  • We maintain people's personal space.
  • We lead healthy lifestyles.
  • We are in the right place at the right time.

Students are awarded Olive character points for exceptional behaviour during the school day. Parents/carers are regularly updated about each student’s behaviour achievements.

We want our school to be an environment which is safe, supportive and free from intimidation. We actively promote a culture of awareness, tolerance and inclusion where all forms of bullying are seen as unacceptable.
