Pupils are encouraged to develop self-discipline; indeed this represents the main form of discipline within the Cranleigh community. Common sense is to be used both in interpreting the Conventions and in general behaviour; pupils are expected to set high standards of honesty, courtesy and appearance.
Bullying is not tolerated at Cranleigh. We expect everyone to be valued as an individual and treated with respect, courtesy and consideration. Any sign of bullying should be reported immediately so it can be dealt with.
This is a supportive community and we must treat each other in positive, constructive ways at all times.
1) Pupils must always accept the authority of a member of Common Room.
2) Pupils are expected to be familiar with the Dress Code, Village Times, Daily Routine, Computing Code of Conduct and fire Drill, which are published separately and may alter from time to time.
3) All pupils are expected to attend Chapel at the prescribed times, as instructed.
4) Music should not be played during working hours, or after 9.30 pm at a volume audible outside a study.
5) Pupils who know in advance that they will need to miss a lesson or other School commitment should see the member of staff involved at least twenty-four hours in advance.
6) Bicycles are not to be used around the School site, and may be kept at School only by arrangement with Housemasters/mistresses. Helmets must be worn.
7) Chewing gum not to be brought onto the School site.
8) Running or noisy behaviour in the main quad/corridor is not allowed. Books or bags must be left on shelves provided and not on the floor or steps (except before morning chapel).
9) Computer games are not allowed in School. DVDs are permissible only when kept in the possession of the Housemasters/mistress and for use in the House Common Room and not in individual studies.
10) Mobile phones must be switched off during lesson, activity, meeting and prep times, in Chapel, Hall and after bedtime. They should be used for social and family contact only.
11) Boys are not allowed in Girls' Houses unless invited by the Housemistress. The areas immediately outside the Girls' Houses are not to be used as gathering/socializing places. Girls are allowed only into the Common Room areas of Boys' Houses; they are not allowed into boys' studies/bedrooms.
12) Pupils may not drive into School or in its immediate neighbourhood. They may not drive each other, nor be driven by any other than their immediate family without permission from their Housemasters/mistress.
13) The following list gives some more examples of serious breaches of discipline and behaviour which, along with conventions 1, 11 and 12 above, may lead to an exclusion from the School:
a) tampering with any fire appliance or safety device;
b) smoking or being part of a group in which there is smoking;
c) purchase and consumption of alcohol, except according to JCR rules or with a member of CR;
d) gambling or betting;
e) visiting Public Houses in Cranleigh Village during term time (for boarders and day pupils);
f) inappropriate or unpleasant misuse of phones, computers or other forms of communication;
g) theft of property or identity (e.g. logging onto a computer using someone else's password);
h) possession or misuse of fireworks, fire-arms, knives or other weapons;
i) bullying of any kinds;
j) inappropriate sexual behaviour;
k) possession, supply or misuse of drugs or substances or paraphernalia of drugs and substances.
The list is not intended to be an exhaustive one, and it is possible that other breaches of the Conventions may result in a pupil's exclusion from School. Persistent breaches mat result in permanent exclusion from the School.
The last six examples of offences which are viewed as extremely serious and are treated particularly severely. They are likely to lead to an exclusion, which may turn out to be permanent.
When in the care of the School, pupils who possess, supply or misuse drugs, or who take part in an act of sexual intercourse, will be permanently excluded from the School.
