THE SIX HOUSES
The House of the Resurgent City and Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels at Coventry The House of Saint George the Martyr, Glorious Patron of England The House of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons The House of William Temple, Head Master, Archbishop, and Servant of God The House of the Holy, Blessed and Glorious Trinity The House of the Holy Cross of our Saviour at Waltham
GLORIA DEO VIVAT REGINA
PROCEDAT LUDUS FLOREAT CHAMAEMELUM
This four-fold Salute means: Glory to God! Long live the Queen! Let the School advance! Let the camomile flourish! (The common camomile of the fields, Chamaemelum Nobile, is the School’s emblem, chosen in our early days with reference to Falstaff’s line in Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part 1: “The camomile, the more it is trodden on, the faster it grows.”)

THE SCHOOL RULES
As a School based on Christian principles, we aim to develop and encourage the formation amongst all our members of good relationships and trust. Any behaviour that runs deliberately against this principle that causes hurt, injury or distress to others is not acceptable and will be dealt with according to the rules which govern the discipline and good order of the School. Any act likely to endanger life or property, or which is contrary to common sense, is against the School Rules. Students are not to interfere with or hurt or damage in any way any plant, shrub, tree or living creature in or about the School.
Appropriate sanctions will be taken for any breach of the School Rules. Sanctions may include detentions, confiscation, loss of privileges, withdrawal from teaching groups and, at the most serious level, fixed term and permanent exclusions. Parents/Guardians will be informed when serious breaches of School Rules occur.
Consideration, courtesy, co-operation and respect for others are expected from all members of the School and from all visitors to the School at all times.
EXPECTATIONS
The correct equipment must be brought to all lessons.
This includes: a black pen, a blue pen, a red pen, a 15cm or 30 cm ruler, pencil, pencil sharpener, rubber, and calculator (seek advice from the Maths Department).
The prescribed School uniform must always be worn, including to and from School, on all occasions.
Punctuality is expected at all times from all members of the School community.
3
ITEMS NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL
Weapons and knives are forbidden in School. Items that could harm, frighten or hurt others are also forbidden. Any student found with a knife or weapon in school will be excluded. Aggressive and violent behaviour will not be tolerated.
Alcohol, solvents, cigarettes, matches, lighters and illegal substances must never be brought onto the School site. The use of any of these on the School premises or on the way to or from the School is strictly forbidden.
Non-educational possessions valued at over £15 should not be brought into the School.
Mobile phones and personal electronic equipment are not allowed in School.
In addition to the items listed above, the following are also prohibited in the School or within the School vicinity: Fireworks, solvent based adhesives, noxious substances, permanent marker pens, correcting fluid, aerosol cans, chewing gum, laser pens, obscene publications and jewellery (other than items referred to under the School Uniform).
4
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
School property and the property and work of others must be treated with respect. Any damage must be reported promptly to a member of staff. Replacement or repair costs will normally be charged to individuals who have caused damage.
Students should use the litter bins provided and must not leave litter and rubbish within the School or the locality.
Students are expected to walk in the building, keeping to the left in corridors and on stairways.
OUT OF BOUNDS
The Chapel corridor, the corridor between the staff room to the stairs near E19, the new administration and reception block, the School field and areas where cars are normally parked are designated as out of bounds and must not be entered except with the permission of a member of staff. With the revised timings for lunch break, it is vital that students do not go near areas where classes are being taught, except where necessary. If it is necessary to go near teaching areas at lunchtime, it is vital that students are quiet.
During examination periods, students must observe the temporary designation of out of bounds areas in order that examination areas are quiet.
5
ATTENDANCE
The School attaches great importance to regular and punctual attendance. Irregular attendance can seriously damage academic progress. Students are expected to attend School daily. Authorised absence is only allowed for illness or medical appointments. It is the policy of the School that students do not take holidays during term time.
Parents are requested to inform the School promptly if their child is absent, and an explanatory note must be given to the form teacher or Mrs Miller (attendance clerk) immediately upon the resumption of attendance.
Students will not be allowed into form rooms until 8.30 am. Students who arrive after 8.35 am, when the register will be marked, will be shown as latecomers. Lateness is actively discouraged at all times, and will be punished according to the punctuality guidelines. Persistent lateness will be punished more severely. After lunch, students should be at their afternoon lessons by 2.00 pm.
No student is to leave the School between 8.35 am - 3.15 pm without the permission of their Head of House/a Deputy Headteacher or Mrs Dennis/a first aider in the case of illness. In all cases, students must register with the Office before leaving and after returning.
6
EXCLUSION GUIDELINES
Our school is committed to the achievement of all ethnic groups and all our policies and practice must support this commitment. 1. Only the Headteacher (or a Deputy in the absence of the
Headteacher) has the right to exclude students. 2. Exclusion is the final, most severe sanction available to schools. It
is therefore taken very seriously. Under normal circumstances exclusion will be considered only after a whole range of other sanctions and procedures have been tried.
3. Exclusions can be either internal, fixed-term or permanent. 4. Exclusions will be used as a sanction in accordance with Bishop
Stopford’s School Policy for Behaviour. 5. Work for excluded students will be provided for exclusions of over
one day. 6. Every effort will be made to contact and inform the parents
before the student is sent away from the School. All exclusions are confirmed in writing. Students will normally be provided with a copy of the letter for parents upon their departure.
7. Every effort will be made by the School to work together with
parents to use exclusion in a positive way, for the ultimate benefit of student learning.
8. “Return to School” interviews will be offered for students and
parents to discuss the exclusion. 9. In accordance with the DfE guidelines, parents will be responsible
for supervising their child during the first five days of any exclusion. From day six of a fixed-term exclusion, suitable full time education will be arranged via the School.
7
10. The Local Authority – Enfield - is responsible for full time
education from day six of a permanent exclusion. 11. Students whose behaviour fails to improve despite exclusion are
at serious risk of permanent exclusion. 12. When the safety and welfare of others in the school is
endangered, permanent exclusion will be considered. 13. The School may, on occasions, choose to utilise internal exclusion
and place students in the School’s Student Support Centre if it is deemed beneficial to the students behaviour and disciplinary management. Parents will be informed if this action is taken.
14. Parents have the right to state their case in writing on exclusions
of 1-5 days to the Governors Discipline Committee. 15. For exclusions of 5 and 10 days total in any one term, parents
may request that the Governors Discipline Committee convene a meeting at which they may state their case.

THEMES FOR WORSHIP The School has its own Pause for Thought programme and Themes for
Worship will be outlined in this programme.
THE PRAYER FOR ALL STOPFORDIANS
The Prayer for all Stopfordians is offered in the morning at the time when the light, which burns throughout the day every day in term, is lit before the start of the Communion Service. If an Old Stopfordian is present, it is customary to invite him or her to say the responses.
_________________________ Let us pray. In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Praise the Lord: The Lord’s Name be praised. All members of this School (the light is now lit) wherever they may be, present with us, absent from us, or gone forth from among us into the world, may God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bless, preserve, guide, govern, direct, protect, and prosper, today and always: Amen. May the souls of those departed this life, through the mercy of God rest in peace, and to life everlasting rise in glory. Amen. (In Advent and Lent, the Collect of the Season is said here.)
10
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, to whom with thee O Father and thee O Holy Spirit be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. The Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: And his truth endureth from generation to generation. God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest, to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth, and all mankind, peace and concord, and to us and all his servants his blessing today and always. Amen.

THE SCHOOL UNIFORM
The School’s uniform is compulsory, but it has been kept simple and natural, in order to give each individual student, and the School as a whole, a smart appearance. All property should be clearly marked with the student’s name. It is, therefore, the parent’s/guardian’s and student’s joint responsibility to ensure that the correct uniform is provided and worn at all times, including on the way to and from School. If there is any doubt as to the acceptability of any item, other than those specified in the following sections, parents are advised to check with the student’s Head of House before buying, or allowing to be worn, any such item.

for the year 2012 to 2013
the forty-sixth of the Foundation The dates of the Public Examinations are for the beginning and end of the written papers. All students must remember that some theory papers, and most of the practical and oral tests, take place before the main examination period, during the whole of the first half of the summer term. School assessment of all GCSE project work, course work and practical skills should be completed by the end of the Spring Term at the latest. These marks form an integral part of the final grade awarded in a subject and students who fail to submit their work will be penalised at GCSE. Parents are strongly advised in these circumstances not to arrange family holidays during the period from January to the end of June. In some subjects written papers begin as early as 1 May. Please note, it is not School Policy to authorise absence for holiday purposes.

SCHOOL SONG
Captain of Israel’s host, and Guide Of all who seek the land above, Beneath thy shadow we abide, The cloud of thy protecting love: Our strength thy grace, our rule thy word, Our end the glory of the Lord. By thine unerring Spirit led We shall not in the desert stray, We shall not full direction need, Nor miss our providential way; As far from danger as from fear, While Love, almighty Love is near.
Charles Wesley 1707-1788
founded to thy glory,
to thy perpetual praise;
who livest and reignest
God ever blest,
world without end.
THE SIX HOUSES
The House of the Resurgent City and Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels at Coventry The House of Saint George the Martyr, Glorious Patron of England The House of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons The House of William Temple, Head Master, Archbishop, and Servant of God The House of the Holy, Blessed and Glorious Trinity The House of the Holy Cross of our Saviour at Waltham
GLORIA DEO VIVAT REGINA
PROCEDAT LUDUS FLOREAT CHAMAEMELUM
This four-fold Salute means: Glory to God! Long live the Queen! Let the School advance! Let the camomile flourish! (The common camomile of the fields, Chamaemelum Nobile, is the School’s emblem, chosen in our early days with reference to Falstaff’s line in Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part 1: “The camomile, the more it is trodden on, the faster it grows.”)

THE SCHOOL RULES
As a School based on Christian principles, we aim to develop and encourage the formation amongst all our members of good relationships and trust. Any behaviour that runs deliberately against this principle that causes hurt, injury or distress to others is not acceptable and will be dealt with according to the rules which govern the discipline and good order of the School. Any act likely to endanger life or property, or which is contrary to common sense, is against the School Rules. Students are not to interfere with or hurt or damage in any way any plant, shrub, tree or living creature in or about the School.
Appropriate sanctions will be taken for any breach of the School Rules. Sanctions may include detentions, confiscation, loss of privileges, withdrawal from teaching groups and, at the most serious level, fixed term and permanent exclusions. Parents/Guardians will be informed when serious breaches of School Rules occur.
Consideration, courtesy, co-operation and respect for others are expected from all members of the School and from all visitors to the School at all times.
EXPECTATIONS
The correct equipment must be brought to all lessons.
This includes: a black pen, a blue pen, a red pen, a 15cm or 30 cm ruler, pencil, pencil sharpener, rubber, and calculator (seek advice from the Maths Department).
The prescribed School uniform must always be worn, including to and from School, on all occasions.
Punctuality is expected at all times from all members of the School community.
3
ITEMS NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL
Weapons and knives are forbidden in School. Items that could harm, frighten or hurt others are also forbidden. Any student found with a knife or weapon in school will be excluded. Aggressive and violent behaviour will not be tolerated.
Alcohol, solvents, cigarettes, matches, lighters and illegal substances must never be brought onto the School site. The use of any of these on the School premises or on the way to or from the School is strictly forbidden.
Non-educational possessions valued at over £15 should not be brought into the School.
Mobile phones and personal electronic equipment are not allowed in School.
In addition to the items listed above, the following are also prohibited in the School or within the School vicinity: Fireworks, solvent based adhesives, noxious substances, permanent marker pens, correcting fluid, aerosol cans, chewing gum, laser pens, obscene publications and jewellery (other than items referred to under the School Uniform).
4
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
School property and the property and work of others must be treated with respect. Any damage must be reported promptly to a member of staff. Replacement or repair costs will normally be charged to individuals who have caused damage.
Students should use the litter bins provided and must not leave litter and rubbish within the School or the locality.
Students are expected to walk in the building, keeping to the left in corridors and on stairways.
OUT OF BOUNDS
The Chapel corridor, the corridor between the staff room to the stairs near E19, the new administration and reception block, the School field and areas where cars are normally parked are designated as out of bounds and must not be entered except with the permission of a member of staff. With the revised timings for lunch break, it is vital that students do not go near areas where classes are being taught, except where necessary. If it is necessary to go near teaching areas at lunchtime, it is vital that students are quiet.
During examination periods, students must observe the temporary designation of out of bounds areas in order that examination areas are quiet.
5
ATTENDANCE
The School attaches great importance to regular and punctual attendance. Irregular attendance can seriously damage academic progress. Students are expected to attend School daily. Authorised absence is only allowed for illness or medical appointments. It is the policy of the School that students do not take holidays during term time.
Parents are requested to inform the School promptly if their child is absent, and an explanatory note must be given to the form teacher or Mrs Miller (attendance clerk) immediately upon the resumption of attendance.
Students will not be allowed into form rooms until 8.30 am. Students who arrive after 8.35 am, when the register will be marked, will be shown as latecomers. Lateness is actively discouraged at all times, and will be punished according to the punctuality guidelines. Persistent lateness will be punished more severely. After lunch, students should be at their afternoon lessons by 2.00 pm.
No student is to leave the School between 8.35 am - 3.15 pm without the permission of their Head of House/a Deputy Headteacher or Mrs Dennis/a first aider in the case of illness. In all cases, students must register with the Office before leaving and after returning.
6
EXCLUSION GUIDELINES
Our school is committed to the achievement of all ethnic groups and all our policies and practice must support this commitment. 1. Only the Headteacher (or a Deputy in the absence of the
Headteacher) has the right to exclude students. 2. Exclusion is the final, most severe sanction available to schools. It
is therefore taken very seriously. Under normal circumstances exclusion will be considered only after a whole range of other sanctions and procedures have been tried.
3. Exclusions can be either internal, fixed-term or permanent. 4. Exclusions will be used as a sanction in accordance with Bishop
Stopford’s School Policy for Behaviour. 5. Work for excluded students will be provided for exclusions of over
one day. 6. Every effort will be made to contact and inform the parents
before the student is sent away from the School. All exclusions are confirmed in writing. Students will normally be provided with a copy of the letter for parents upon their departure.
7. Every effort will be made by the School to work together with
parents to use exclusion in a positive way, for the ultimate benefit of student learning.
8. “Return to School” interviews will be offered for students and
parents to discuss the exclusion. 9. In accordance with the DfE guidelines, parents will be responsible
for supervising their child during the first five days of any exclusion. From day six of a fixed-term exclusion, suitable full time education will be arranged via the School.
7
10. The Local Authority – Enfield - is responsible for full time
education from day six of a permanent exclusion. 11. Students whose behaviour fails to improve despite exclusion are
at serious risk of permanent exclusion. 12. When the safety and welfare of others in the school is
endangered, permanent exclusion will be considered. 13. The School may, on occasions, choose to utilise internal exclusion
and place students in the School’s Student Support Centre if it is deemed beneficial to the students behaviour and disciplinary management. Parents will be informed if this action is taken.
14. Parents have the right to state their case in writing on exclusions
of 1-5 days to the Governors Discipline Committee. 15. For exclusions of 5 and 10 days total in any one term, parents
may request that the Governors Discipline Committee convene a meeting at which they may state their case.

THEMES FOR WORSHIP The School has its own Pause for Thought programme and Themes for
Worship will be outlined in this programme.
THE PRAYER FOR ALL STOPFORDIANS
The Prayer for all Stopfordians is offered in the morning at the time when the light, which burns throughout the day every day in term, is lit before the start of the Communion Service. If an Old Stopfordian is present, it is customary to invite him or her to say the responses.
_________________________ Let us pray. In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Praise the Lord: The Lord’s Name be praised. All members of this School (the light is now lit) wherever they may be, present with us, absent from us, or gone forth from among us into the world, may God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bless, preserve, guide, govern, direct, protect, and prosper, today and always: Amen. May the souls of those departed this life, through the mercy of God rest in peace, and to life everlasting rise in glory. Amen. (In Advent and Lent, the Collect of the Season is said here.)
10
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, to whom with thee O Father and thee O Holy Spirit be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. The Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: And his truth endureth from generation to generation. God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest, to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth, and all mankind, peace and concord, and to us and all his servants his blessing today and always. Amen.
TIMINGS FOR HOUSE FESTIVALS The House with the festival will go to Eucharist in the Hall at 8.45 a.m. Extended registration or House meetings for other Houses at 8.45 a.m.

THE SCHOOL UNIFORM
The School’s uniform is compulsory, but it has been kept simple and natural, in order to give each individual student, and the School as a whole, a smart appearance. All property should be clearly marked with the student’s name. It is, therefore, the parent’s/guardian’s and student’s joint responsibility to ensure that the correct uniform is provided and worn at all times, including on the way to and from School. If there is any doubt as to the acceptability of any item, other than those specified in the following sections, parents are advised to check with the student’s Head of House before buying, or allowing to be worn, any such item.

Ties Students must wear the new School tie with 2 stripes according to year and House. Students must wear the School tie in the conventional manner; if a member of staff judges that the tie is not tied appropriately the student will be expected to correct this accordingly.

for the year 2012 to 2013
the forty-sixth of the Foundation The dates of the Public Examinations are for the beginning and end of the written papers. All students must remember that some theory papers, and most of the practical and oral tests, take place before the main examination period, during the whole of the first half of the summer term. School assessment of all GCSE project work, course work and practical skills should be completed by the end of the Spring Term at the latest. These marks form an integral part of the final grade awarded in a subject and students who fail to submit their work will be penalised at GCSE. Parents are strongly advised in these circumstances not to arrange family holidays during the period from January to the end of June. In some subjects written papers begin as early as 1 May. Please note, it is not School Policy to authorise absence for holiday purposes.

SCHOOL SONG
Captain of Israel’s host, and Guide Of all who seek the land above, Beneath thy shadow we abide, The cloud of thy protecting love: Our strength thy grace, our rule thy word, Our end the glory of the Lord. By thine unerring Spirit led We shall not in the desert stray, We shall not full direction need, Nor miss our providential way; As far from danger as from fear, While Love, almighty Love is near.
Charles Wesley 1707-1788
