Professionalism

​

Being ready to learn

​

We expect the highest standards of conduct from our students and we work with them to establish the 5 Ps of Professionalism:

​

Punctual

Polite 

Presentable

Positive

Prepared

Professionalism

Expertise

Craftsmanship

Students created their own rules that they wanted to live by at School 21

​

Instead of imposing school rules on the first children to start at School 21, we asked them to devise a set of rules that they could live by. This is what they came up with. These are the rules that they are held accountable for:

​

  • Make everyone feel welcome.

  • Look out for each other.

  • Never discriminate against someone.

  • Own up to things.

  • Be true to your word.

  • Show manners.

  • Respect the environment, property and others.

  • Show zero tolerance of bullying or unkindness.

  • Always put in your best work and do your best in lessons.

  • Not talk back to teachers.

  • Persevere.

  • Be ambassadors for School 21.

​

These rules are up on every classroom door. School rules: designed by students. And every time one of those rules is broken, we hold the students to their own commitments.

Professionalism points

​

At School 21, every student in secondary starts the week with 50 professionalism points. Students lose points for unprofessional behaviour – for lateness, for lack of homework, for disrupting the learning of other students – and cannot get them back again.

 

We celebrate the large number of students who retain all of their points throughout the week – and, every Monday, each student gets another chance to show their professionalism.
