Expectations

Expectations of conduct are embedded in the school ethos. Pupils and adults often refer to "The Waddesdon Way". This notion is introduced to year six pupils, before they come to Waddesdon, as part of the school’s transition programme within the well-established links with primary schools. The School’s code of conduct is founded on the expectation that all people and property should be treated with dignity and respect.

There is a strong link between the pastoral and academic aspects of school life. The School’s corporate expectations are reaffirmed in the whole school assemblies which take place every morning. Assemblies are led by the Headteacher, members of staff, pupils, clergy of various denominations or other speakers who may be invited from time to time. All students normally attend.

Further information regarding the details of our expectations are emphasised in the Home-School Agreement.
