Code of Conduct

Vistion Statement

Hope Academy, through developing a biblical wordview, prepares the hearts and minds of pupils with an excellent holistic education in order to influence society.

Mission Statement

We are a school that values a high level of teaching , learning and assessing. We intentionally equip young people to think and operate from the foundation of a clear biblical worldview. We provide a warm extended family that cares for every learner through a range of close pastoral relationships with peers, teachers and sponsors.

We believe in honoring and respecting each other through personal self-control and discipline. We provide an environment where we value pupils as individuals and so seek to identify their unique talents and characteristics. We promote service, cooperation and teamwork in order to reach out to others and the community.

Aim of the Code of Conduct

A school code of conduct is designed to fairly and consistently moderate and shape the behavior of an individual or group of individuals to the expectations of the organization. The Hope Academy code of conduct is grounded on the biblical worldview.

Values

This code of conduct is grounded in our values as a gospel-centered school:

● Truth - 2 Corinthians 13:8

● Respect - Ephesians 5:21

● Responsibility - 1 Corinthians 9:25

● Diligence - Proverbs 12:24

● Perseverance - Romans 2:7

● Kindness - Matthew 7:12

● Joy - Philippians 4:4

Levels of Discipline

This code of conduct is made up of three levels of discipline, as well as related of consequence. For each level different staff are responsible:

● Level 1 — involves minor misdemeanors that are usually dealt with by teachers in the classroom. Teachers can make use of positive reinforcement to ensure these misdemeanors happen less or by negative reinforcement if the misdemeanor occurred despite the pupil knowing it was not approved by the school community.

● Level 2— involves more repeated minor misdemeanors or more serious misdemeanors that may involve both the teacher, a senior teacher and/or the headmaster.

● Level 4 — involves repeated misdemeanors with no change in behavior that would generally involve the headmaster and the parents of the child. In the most serious of these misdemeanors the child may be removed from the school.
