Behaviour and Safety

At Skipton Girls’ High School we expect all students to be:

Respectful of all others and the environment
Responsible (arrive on time, be fully equipped for learning and wear the correct uniform)
Resilient (show grit, determination and effort in all class work and home learning activities)

We use our Attitudes to Learning definitions to support you in thinking about how your Behaviour impacts on your Learning.
