Detentions

A message form the Respect For Learning Team:

We know that the vast majority of Cheney students receive very few detentions and that they serve these detentions promptly when set. However, we feel that ensuring detentions are completed is a key role for our tutors, not our class teachers. Therefore, as of Monday 30 Nov, detentions will only take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please be aware that tutors will escort students with detentions to the dining hall at the end of tutor time. If a student refuses to accompany their tutor or truants tutor time, the tutor will  contact home and explain to parents that the initial detention still needs to be served and that he or she is about to set a further detention.

These actions will be taken consistently by all tutors.

There are a few students in the school with many outstanding detentions. These students will be picked up by members of the senior leadership team at the end of each tutor time and escorted to detention. If a student refuses to accompany a member of SLT or truants tutor time to avoid being picked up by a member of SLT, that member of staff will contact home and explain to parents that the initial detention still needs to be served and that he or she is about to set a further detention for lunchtime the next day at the college base.
