The Chase Behaviour Expectations

At The Chase, we believe that behaviour in our school should be -

Impeccable: every lesson, everywhere, every day

All members of The Chase School community have a right to a safe and challenging learning environment. Our Behaviour Policy is designed to create an inclusive learning environment in school that applies to all students. Mutual respect amongst all members of the school community lies at the heart of this policy.

We expect behaviour to be of an impeccable standard throughout the school day, when travelling to and from school and whilst participating on trips and visits. Positive behaviour needs to be taught, modelled, and rewarded. Poor or unacceptable behaviour needs to be sanctioned. Positive relationships between and with students are the key to good behaviour.

Uniform

Students may not wear any hood or hat inside school buildings and may only wear them outside the school campus in cold or wet weather. The only hoodies allowed are Chase hoodies that can be worn as an outdoor garment over school uniform. Logos (other than the Chase badge) are not permitted on any clothing. 

Apart from a single stud in each ear, students will not be allowed piercings of any sort.  Students will not be allowed to wear dangling earrings.  Students will not be allowed to wear extremes of either make up or hair design (‘extreme’ being of a nature that would draw undue attention to the student).  Students are required to meet the expectations of the school to respect themselves and others by always wearing their uniform correctly.  Full clarification of the uniform is available in ‘The Chase Uniform List’.

Mobile Phones

At The Chase, mobile phones* may not be used in school by students below Sixth Form level, unless otherwise agreed.  If a student brings a mobile phone to school, it must be at their own risk, and the phone must be kept switched off as soon as they enter the school site, including breaks and lunchtimes.
