Code of Conduct for Lycee International de Londres Winston Churchill parents

Vision

Our school is built on a foundation of academic accomplishment, with an open, creative and nurturing environment that encourages each child to reach their full potential.

Mission

Through a rigorous, bilingual programme and innovative methods, we educate students to become responsible, creative and principled global citizens. We teach them to think critically and act ethically, to form and express their own opinions and respect those of others, to define their own life goals, and to make sense of and embrace change

Values

We cultivate:

• Excellence in intellectual and social endeavours
• Creativity through a diversity of teaching methods
• Integrity by encouraging students to be truthful and fair
• Community through solidarity and collaboration
• Awareness to ensure we are tolerant and able to celebrate our differences.

Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill is a caring school which aims to create a stimulating, learning environment in which every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill values its strong relationship with parents and carers. Together this helps us achieve the very best for the children in a mutually supportive partnership between parents/carers, class teachers and the school community. We therefore continually welcome and encourage parents or carers to participate fully in the life of our school. Parents/carers behaviour should model that expected from students.

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to provide a reminder to all parents/carers and visitors of the expectations around the conduct of parents and carers. This Code of Conduct  sets out the actions that the school can take should this code not be fully complied with.

Failure to comply with this Code of Conduct may constitute a breach of the Terms and Conditions.

Support structures for parents and carers

Families and carers are invited to seek support and guidance from the school at any time. The parents Association (APLIL) is the main channel of communication and collaboration between parents and the school. Association des parents: APLIL (assocparents@lyceechurchill.london)

Please call or email the relevant school office (Primary, Secondary, Head’s Office) to obtain the contact details of the following APLIL representatives:

• Parents délégués de classe/ Designated class parents
• Parents coordinateurs de niveau / Designated class level parent coordinators
• APLIL Trustees

1. Expectations

We request that parents and carers ensure all visitors responsible for collecting their children comply with this code.

With the above principles in mind, parents/carers are reminded that:

1.Everyone is expected to embrace and respect the caring ethos and values of the school.

2.Teachers and parents need to work together for the benefit of their children.

3.Approaching school staff regarding any issue  should be done in an appropriate and respectful manner, whether in writing or in person.

4.All members of the school community are treated with respect using appropriate language and behaviour.

5.The school needs to work with a child in order to clarify his/her version of events and bring about an appropriate solution to an issue.

6.Parents/carers must support the school’s disciplinary decisions.

7.Parents/carers  address their child’s actions especially where it could lead to conflict, aggressive or unsafe behaviour, both on and off the school premises.

2. Inappropriate behaviour

In order to support a peaceful and safe school environment, the school will not tolerate parents, carers or visitors exhibiting the following:

1.Sending offensive, abusive, or threatening emails or text/voicemail/phone messages or other written communications to anyone within the school community.

2.Defamatory, offensive or derogatory comments regarding the school or any of the students/parent/staff, at the school on any social sites.

3.Threatening, in any way, a member of school staff, visitor, fellow parent/carer or student.

4.The use of physical or verbal aggression towards another adult or child. This includes physical punishment of your own child on school premises.

5.Disruptive behaviour which interferes or threatens to interfere with any of the school’s operations or activities anywhere on the school premises.  Using loud or offensive language or displaying temper.

6.Any inappropriate behaviour on the school premises, including un​safe driving or parking and inappropriate behaviour at pick-up

7.Approaching someone else’s child in order to discuss or discipline them because of the actions of this child towards a parent’s own child. (Such an approach to a child may be seen to be an assault on that child and may have legal consequences).

8.Smoking, taking illegal drugs or the consumption of alcohol on school premises.

(Alcohol may only be consumed by parents during authorised events).

9.Damaging or destroying school property.

10.Pets being brought on to school premises (other than guide/therapy animals).

Should ​any ​of the above occur on school premises the school may feel it is necessary to take action by contacting the appropriate authorities and may consider excluding the offending adult from  the school premises.

3. Inappropriate use of Social Media

Social media websites are being used increasingly to fuel campaigns and complaints against schools, Head teachers, school staff, and in some cases other parents or students. The Department for Education and Governors of Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill consider the use of social media websites being used in this way as unacceptable. Any concerns you may have about the school or your child/children must be made through the appropriate channels by speaking to the class teacher, the Head teacher or the Chair of Governors, where they will be dealt with fairly, appropriately and effectively for all concerned.

4. Libellous or Defamatory posts

In the event that any student or parent/carer of a child/children at Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill is found to be posting libellous or defamatory comments on any social network sites, they will be reported to the appropriate ‘report abuse’ section of the network site. All social network sites have clear rules about the content which can be posted on the site and they provide robust mechanisms to report activity which is in breach. The school will also expect that any parent/carer or student removes such comments immediately.

5. Cyber Bullying

We take very seriously the use of cyber bullying by any child or a parent to publicly humiliate another by inappropriate social network comments, pictures or videos. We will consider this a serious incident of school bullying. The school will also consider its ​legal options​ to deal with any such misuse on social networking and other sites.

Together we create a positive environment for our children, our staff and our entire community.

We have been authorised as an International Baccalaureate World School following a thorough assessment of the school by IB inspectors. This is a remarkable achievement, given how young the school is, and enabled us to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme starting in September 2019.

“Conversations with the pedagogical leadership team and teachers show considerable awareness of the importance of language learning and show awareness of plans for the school in this regard. This is something that is clearly important to the school and is mentioned in the vast majority of meetings. English/French bilingualism that is promoted in the school is at the heart of everything that is done and the choice of languages within the DP fully support this.”

“Conversations with parents and students show that there is an excellent general understanding of the following aspects of the programme each student is exposed to a broad and balanced curriculum and the DP is academically challenging but also aims at developing the attributes of the IB learner profile.”

International Baccalaureate also commended the school for:

• “Teachers had excellent knowledge and understanding of students.”

• “There is an excellent understanding within the school in general of the needs of students.”

• “All members of the school have an excellent and appropriate understanding of the DP both in terms of content and philosophy; they are able to articulate this in a highly respectful environment.”

(Extract of IB report, April 2019)

The full authorisation report is available here as a PDF.

Sixth form provision: OUTSTANDING

Personal development, behaviour, and welfare: OUTSTANDING

 “The school’s work to promote students’ personal development and welfare is outstanding. Pupils’ positive attitudes to learning are central to the school’s work and its upbeat, stimulating ethos. Pupils respond especially well to their teachers and the wide range of opportunities to learn. The constructive relationships between students and teachers mean that there is a strong climate for learning. Pupils are aspirational and highly motivated, and this makes a strong contribution to their achievements.”

“Outcomes for sixth-form students are excellent. Since the school was opened three and half years ago, students’ progress has continued to rise. In the 2018 Baccalauréat, 98.5% of students passed the examination, and 31% achieved the highest grade.”

“Sixth-form students are prepared extremely well for the next stage of their careers. Careers advice, information and guidance are especially strong, and students value the support they get. Students were keen to tell inspectors of the high-quality support they receive to help to complete their university application forms. This is reflected in the very high proportion of students who go on to university. In 2018, for example, 99% of students were accepted at a university of their choice. All students moved on to university, except one who gained employment.”

We have been awarded CIS Membership following a rigorous self-evaluation process which culminated in September with an appraisal visit by a CIS Officer. Being a member of this network of highly reputable international schools in such a short time is quite an achievement.

“The school is a learning and listening school where everyone matters and is encouraged to extend themselves and achieve their best. The community is a collaborative one where teamwork prevails and responsibility and accountability are shared. Students are happy, self-confident and proud of their school. Their academic, health, social and emotional well-being is at the forefront of planning and rigorous Policies and Procedures are in place and consistently followed to ensure this is sustained.”
