Hall Mead School
consciously seeks to provide a caring atmosphere within which
each pupil can prosper. This depends on mutual respect, self-discipline
and a willingness to work with others. Academic excellence, with
pupils working to the maximum of their ability, is deemed as important
as social competence and the pastoral system shares responsibility
with subject departments for ensuring that the full potential
of each pupil is realised. Great emphasis is placed on the traditional
values of courtesy, tolerance and diligence. |

Form tutors
are responsible for the welfare and discipline of their pupils
and for monitoring their educational progress. The work of the
tutors within each house is supported and co-ordinated by a Senior
House Tutor. It is the Senior House Tutor with whom parents normally
make the first contact.

Disciplinary
sanctions, including detention and - in rare cases - exclusion,
are used as appropriate. However, staff believe strongly that
praise and encouragement are powerful motivators which should
be used whenever possible.

The
School's pastoral care, behaviour and discipline, and anti-bullying
policies are all available on request.

|
Arising
from DfEE Circular 10/98, the School also has a policy on the
use of force to control or restrain pupils.
