The School's Code of Conduct Policy (06.2006)
Burnham Grammar School aims to be a stimulating and supportive well ordered community in which the potential of all its students can be extensively developed so that when they leave they are well equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to lead a full and satisfying life.
The atmosphere of the school should be one in which teaching staff, non teaching staff and students can enjoy working and in which they can carry out their roles of educators and students effectively.
In order for these aims to be fulfilled it is essential that every member of the school community behaves in a way that shows respect for these aspirations.
