The essence of life at Unity City Academy is embodied in the term 'mutual respect', in other words respect and regard for one another as members of the Academy and of the larger community. Good manners and politeness are important qualities in our students.
We expect all Unity students to be hard-working and self-disciplined, the most effective form of regulation. There are a few rules and these are known and understood by everyone. Good behaviour is reinforced by a system of Positive Learning Behaviour Rewards, PLBs, which students can collect and exchange for rewards and vouchers. The Tutorial programme helps to reinforce the concepts of mutual respect and self-discipline and lays great stress on the importance of being a useful member of society. Everyone is expected to make positive contributions to Academy life.
Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated and staff will take firm action in all instances. Parents will be involved as necessary and may be asked to come into the Academy for a meeting about the matter.
Detentions operate at UCA. Parents will be informed when a detention is set. Detention over-rides everything else including Enrichment and representing the Academy in sporting events.
Students can also be placed on daily report. When on report, students must carry a booklet in which their attitude and behaviour is recorded during every Lesson. Parents will always be contacted when their child is on report and will be asked to see and sign that report each evening.
The Academy will remove students from lessons for serious and continuing breaches of discipline. They will be required to work in a room away from all other students and will be supervised for the whole day including breaks. The Academy can and will exclude students for the most serious breaches of discipline and they will not be allowed back into lessons until their parents have been seen by the Progress Manager or a Senior Manager. Repeated exclusions can lead to permanent exclusion.
Smoking
The Academy has adopted a complete no smoking policy for students, staff and visitors. This is intended to send a strong anti smoking message to our students. Students suspected of smoking in the Academy building will be dealt with in line with our behaviour policy and parents will be contacted.
Chewing Gum
Students are not permitted to chew gum inside the Academy. Chewing gum is causing serious damage to the carpets and furniture in the building. A receptacle is provided at Reception so that chewing gum may be safely deposited by students
