Student Code Of Conduct Policy

At Exceed In English Ltd you will meet students of different backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. We have a professional and friendly atmosphere at School, where we treat each person equally and with respect. We ask you to read and follow the rules and regulations below, which we call “Student Code of Conduct”. If you have any questions or problems, please speak to your teacher, or one of the Staff members of Exceed In English Ltd. We are all here to help you and make your stay enjoyable and without any problems.

1. General Behaviour

We ask you to:

Be polite and helpful at all times when in School and outside of the School.
Accept and respect other people’s views and opinions, even if you don’t agree with them.
Be sensitive to other people’s needs. Think about the clothes you wear, the things you say and do, and how your behaviour may affect others.
Speak English whenever you can. It isn’t polite to speak in your own language when others cannot understand you.

Behaviour that is NOT acceptable and may mean that the student will be asked to leave:

Bullying, abusive or violent behaviour towards Exceed In English Ltd staff, students or homestay providers.
Being continuously late for classes or missing classes without a good reason (e.g. sickness).
Damaging the School’s or other people’s property.
Taking or removing any items that are not yours.
Finding unsuitable material on the Internet or making others access such material (remember that the police can check what you do online).
Behaving inappropriately to students who are under the age of 18 (any behaviour that may affect an under 18s student’s safety, or any sexual contact is illegal).
Breaking the law or doing anything illegal. Remember! You have to be 18 years old to buy and consume cigarettes and alcohol in the UK.

2. In the classroom

Respect your teachers and your classmates.
Mobile phones, tablets and all electronic equipment must be switched off/silent, except when you use them as online dictionaries.
Do not take pictures or record videos during class time. If you want to take photos with your friends or your teacher, you can do it during the break, and always ask their permission.
Do not eat or drink hot drinks in the class. You can drink water.
Put your rubbish in the bins.

3. Around the School

Do not run or shout in the building.
If an alarm sounds continuously, you must leave the building quickly, and follow instructions from staff.
If you smoke, go outside and throw away your cigarette in the metal bins provided.
Do not bring alcohol, drugs, or anything illegal into the School.
Do not leave your things unattended, especially your money and mobile phone. Keep your money and mobile phone with you at all times.

All students are responsible for their personal belongings. The School is not responsible for loss or damage of any items that belong to the students.

4. Attendance and absence

You must attend all your classes.
If you don’t attend at least 85% of your lessons, you don’t receive a certificate at the end of your course.
Be on time for your class. If you are a few minutes late, apologise to your teacher and give a reason why you are late.
If you are late by more than 10 minutes you will not be allowed to enter the class until the next lesson. Your teacher will mark you as “absent” for the late lesson.
If you are going to be late or cannot come to a class, please telephone the School by 9.15am (if you are a full-time student) or at least 2 hours before your class start time (if you are a part-time student).
The School has the Attendance and Absence Policy, which hangs on the wall in every classroom. It tells you what steps we take if a student doesn’t attend classes. Please read it.
