TRAVELLING TO AND FROM THE SCHOOL

BEHAVIOUR OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL
We value our students’ experiences both inside and outside of the school and as such we will expect our students to behave in a manner that promotes Ysgol Clywedog. However on occasions students’ behaviour may not be up to standard and as such they will be subject to action from the school. Section 89(5) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 gives Headteachers the power to regulate students’ conduct when they are not on school premises and are not under the lawful control or charge of a member of school staff.
