Behaviour 

All academies in the White Rose Academies Trust are committed to providing the best possible learning experience for all students and believe that high standards of behaviour are fundamental to students taking full advantage of their learning opportunities and achieving their full potential. This puts the onus on teaching staff to deliver engaging and motivational lessons and to assist students to develop key
life skills of politeness, respect for all and self-reliance. The impact of these character traits/behaviours will benefit the students, their families and have an impact on the wider community. Our academies see parents/carers as important partners in upholding our core values and encouraging positive attitudes to learning.

Our Positive Behaviour systems have been designed to engage students in displaying positive behaviour, using suspension as a consequence of last resort to focus our response to behaviour on restorative practices that maximise the opportunity for students to fully engage with their education.

Positive Behaviour at Leeds City Academy 

Our Positive Behaviour systems have been designed to engage students in displaying positive behaviour, using suspension as a consequence of last resort to focus our response to behaviour on restorative practices that maximise the opportunity for students to fully engage with their education.

At Leeds City Academy all students have the opportunity to engage in our extensive reward and recognition scheme that ensures all students who display exceptional academy values receive the praise and recognition they deserve.  In every lesson students are able to earn reward stamps for their contribution to their learning which can be exchanged for rewards in the academy reward shop, which is accessible to all students 3 mornings a week.  Each week staff formally acknowledges achievements through text messages home and postcards.  Each half-term individual achievement is formally recognised in the prize-giving assembly alongside the opportunity to engage in reward activities for those displaying continuous excellence in their professional behaviours.
