School of Performing Arts Behaviours

LEAP believes that in order to fully engage in an arena of performance opportunities, courtesy, consideration and discipline are essential. Performing Arts especially requires this focus and pupils will be expected to embrace such conduct, applying themselves in an appropriate manner.

The school ensures that positive behaviour is the stimulus for creative and motivating material, supported in a friendly and safe environment where children can achieve and prepare for future development.

If negative behaviour should occur, the pupil will be firstly warned by the class facilitator. If misconduct continues the pupil will be excluded from the activity and the parent will be contacted. As a final resort, if conduct does not significantly improve, the pupil will be requested to leave the school (please note fees will not be refunded).
