Behavioural System
The college is famous for having one of the most intense behavioural systems of all Manchester schools. There are 4 stages, with a different punishment at each stage.
- C1 : a verbal warning, no action taken
- C2 : a further verbal warning, final chance
- C3 : After College Detention (1 hour), Parents notified
- C4 : 1 College day in Isolation + After College Detention (1 hour)
If a student receives a C4 warning and has not taken notice of previous warnings, then he/she will be placed in "Isolation" for 1 day. A student in isolation is placed in a cubicle inside a room with around 15 other students. The cubicle is enclosed on 3 sides and communication of any kind is not permitted.
A student must complete 4 pages of lines (the college's rules, rights and responsibilities policy) and then sit in silence. This is said to "give a child time to reflect on their actions in a calm and peaceful environment".

Famous quotes containing the words behavioural and/or system:
“The tabloids are like animals, with their own behavioural patterns. There’s no point in complaining about them, any more than complaining that lions might eat you.”
—David Mellor (b. 1949)
“A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
