As part of the Magna community, you as students understand the importance of positive behaviour both in and outside the classroom. The high expectations at Magna allow you to learn effectively within the classroom, while feeling safe as part of the community that Magna creates.
In-class expectations ensure that you as students learn, while teachers can teach effectively to ensure that your experience is a positive one.
You are expected to:
- Arrive promptly to lesson
- Line up in a calm, orderly and quiet fashion until the teacher invites the class in
- Ensure all equipment is in hand
- Start work promptly
- Maintain all uniform expectations and correct if challenged
- Positively respond to any request made by the member of staff
- Do not eat, drink or chew in lesson (water is an exception)
- If requested to move within the classroom, do so safely and quickly
- Respect the environment
- Use items of academy equipment as intended, minimising the risk of damage or unnecessary replacement
- Produce work to the best of your ability at all times
These expectations within the classroom will allow you to maximise every minute and enjoy your Magna journey. Your behaviour outside of the classroom is equally important, some may say that it requires additional effort from you as part of the Magna community as there are often less clear boundaries as well as peer influence.
Out of class you are expected to:
- Behave respectfully around the academy
- Walk calmly, orderly and quietly during all transitions, including break and lunch, showing courtesy to other students, staff and visitors to the academy
- Respond quickly to any instructions given by staff
- Not walk away from a member of staff if being spoken to
- Maintain all uniform expectations and correct any irregularities if challenged
- Eat only in the specified areas (chewing gum is not allowed in the academy)
- Avoid gathering in large groups/crowds, as this can be intimidating to other students and staff
- Be silent and responsive during line ups and listen when being spoken to by staff
- Move silently from line ups
- Wait quietly, in a single file outside of the classroom until greeted by the member of staff
- Not engage in bullying or harassment of any kind
- Treat all people with respect
- Respect the environment
- Use items of academy equipment as intended, minimising the risk of damage or unnecessary replacement
- Not endanger others by interfering with Fire Prevention devices and alarms
- Not bring the academy into disrepute by unacceptable behaviour off-site, whether in the locality, to and from the academy, or further afield e.g. on academy visits
