We have high expectations of our students, not only academically, but also socially. We expect all students to achieve their full potential throughout their school life whether in their GCSE subjects and diplomas or in their sports and cultural pursuits.

We believe good discipline is essential for students to learn, to make progress and to feel secure in school. It also helps in the creation of a purposeful working atmosphere which encourages students to want to do well, to improve their independent learning skills and to become more self-disciplined as they grow older.

Good discipline is built upon high expectations, clear support and guidance and recognition of effort, improvement and achievement. These are the cornerstones of our approach to working with students, and as a result praise and rewards are built into our teaching.

Visitors to Queen Eleanor frequently comment on the calm and orderly atmosphere of the school as well as the conduct and positive attitude of our students. At all times we aim to instil in students a sense of responsibility as well as caring attitudes to others in the community as a whole.

As a general principle we aim to be firm, positive and constructive in our approach to discipline and to treat the students as young, responsible adults.
