DEPARTMENTAL RULES

BEHAVIOUR – DEPARTMENTAL RULES

1. The History Department follows the School Policy on behaviour and adopts both its own and the School sanctions, as applicable.
2. Within the classroom, students are expected to behave in a manner that is conducive to a good learning and teaching environment.
3. Certain practices are expressly discouraged. These include (but are not limited to) : calling out, talking when either the teacher or another student is talking, disturbing your neighbours, entering or leaving the room in an unsuitable manner, writing on the desks, chewing, eating or drinking in  lessons, using a mobile phone or any mp3 player or ipod within the lesson, being late for the lesson, misusing any school equipment (including textbooks and exercise books).
4. Homework is expected to be completed on time and handed in as required by the teacher.
5. Any unacceptable behaviour may result in detention or some other form of sanctions.

HISTORY EXERCISE BOOK – DEPARTMENTAL RULES

(to be stuck inside your exercise book)

1. YOU are responsible for this exercise book. It is up to you to make sure that you keep it in good order.
2. The only writing that should be on the cover of your book is the following : Your name, form, subject and teacher. There should NOT be anything else.
3. Whilst you may like pretty decorations on your book, we like the look of nice, clean books.
4. Inside your book, we expect you to take some care over the presentation.:

(a)     You should always date every piece of work

(b)    You should underline titles and dates with a ruler

(c)     You should only write in BLACK or BLUE ink, unless told otherwise by your teacher.

(d)    You should take care over your written work. Remember that it must be neat enough so that the teacher can actually read it.

(e)     You should think before you start writing and take care over spellings, especially of historical terms, or words on the board or in the textbook.

(f)      If you are told to stick something in, you must make sure that it is stuck in properly.

(g)    Any illustrations should be drawn neatly and should not be squashed into a small space so that the illustration looks untidy or cramped.

5. Your book should be handed in every time that homework is set. You are responsible for ensuring that your book is handed in. If you fail to hand your book in, without a good reason, you may be placed in detention.
6. Under no circumstances should you tear any pages out of your book.
7. If there is any work missing, your teacher will write in your book that you must do this work or, in some cases, that you need to copy this work from someone else. You will be expected to have done this by the next time your book is collected in.
8. If a piece of work is not of a satisfactory standard, your teacher will tell you that the work must be redone by the next time the book is handed in.

HISTORY TEXT BOOK – DEPARTMENTAL RULES

1. YOU are responsible for any textbook issued to you.  It is up to you to make sure that you keep it in good order.
2. The only writing that you should add is your name and form on the book sticker inside the front cover. You should NEVER write anything else either inside the book or on the cover.
3. Whilst you may like pretty decorations on your book, we like the look of nice, clean books.
4. When you are issued a book, your teacher will ask you for the book number and then ask you to sign a sheet saying that you have received that book.
5. When the teacher collects all the books back in, you will be expected to return the book issued to you (the number will be checked). If you hand in a different numbered book, we shall still expect you to hand in the actual book that was issued to you.
6. If you fail to hand in the book issued to you, or if the book is in a state where it can not be reused, you will be charged for that textbook.
