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)
“If mothers are to be successful in achieving their child-rearing goals, they must have the inner freedom to find their own value system and within that system to find what is acceptable to them and what is not. This means leaving behind the anxiety, but also the security, of simplistic good-bad formulations and deciding for themselves what they want to teach their children.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
