Achieving Through Caring   Fowey Community College School DISCIPLINE The school enjoys a reputation for good discipline both within the classroom and outside. Disruptive or anti-social behaviour is not tolerated and the school deals firmly with miscreants in this respect. Various sanctions are used in ensuring the maintenance of our high standards and these include: counselling followed by a verbal warning, referral to Head of Year or Head of Faculty, written work as a punishment, lunchtime detention, after-school detention, suspension or in extreme cases permanent exclusion from the school. Parents are involved at an early stage and are always informed, in writing, in the cases of after-school detention and suspension or exclusion. We make no apology for involving parents with disciplinary matters or with problems affecting progress since we feel that education is a partnership involving the young person, parents and the school and that, with a concerted approach, our chances of ensuring the best outcomes are greatly enhanced. We expect and depend on parents to support the school in all matters affecting discipline.
