Medical Needs (supporting students with medical conditions)
Bishop Heber High School is committed to supporting students with medical conditions so that they have full access to education, including physical education and educational visits. In line with statutory government guidance, we are unable to provide students with work if they are not well enough to attend school. Students with medical conditions who are finding it difficult to maintain attendance and/or educational progress because of their medical condition will be referred to the SENDCo who will liaise with the student’s Year Leader and other relevant agencies if applicable.
Further details can be found in the Supporting Students with Medical Conditions Policy available online at Supporting Students With Medical Conditions Policy as a read-only copy, in the School Library or as a printed copy which is available from the Clerk to the Governors, Miss J Ashley, jashley@heber.org.uk.
Mobile Phones
Students in Year 7 to 11 mobile phones must not be seen, heard or used during the school day (8.55 a.m. through to 3.20 p.m.). If a student chooses to bring their mobile phone into school, then it needs to be switched off and kept out of sight i.e. bottom of school bag (not on their person). Students are not permitted to use Bluetooth devices, such as ear pods or connected smart watches. If a mobile phone or Bluetooth device is used, seen or heard the following consequences will apply:
- The member of staff will confiscate the item immediately, place it in an envelope, write on the student’s name, tutor group, time and date then take to the Main School Office at the earliest opportunity to be kept securely
- The staff member will log a C2 on Arbor which will automatically inform the parents or guardians of the student
- The student will collect the phone from Main School Office at the end of the school day
Subsequent consequences will apply if a student refuses to hand in their mobile phone or if a mobile phone has been confiscated numerous times. For further information, as well as details regarding Sixth Form students, please see the mobile phone policy: Behaviour and Discipline Policy (including Drugs Policy) | Bishop Heber High School
