Sanctions related to uniform
Dear Kings Heath Boys Mathematics and Computing College, Birmingham,
Under the FOI Act I would like to request the following information regarding sanctions and other punishment (e.g. detention, isolation, withdrawal of privileges, expulsion, exclusion) issued by the school in relation to uniform.
1) Please provide a breakdown, for each of the last five academic years, including the current academic year, of all punishments issued for misconduct relating to uniform (e.g. wearing wrong uniform, not wearing uniform, wearing forbidden items, etc). For each incident please provide:
The nature of the punishment
The nature of the misconduct
Whether it related to school uniform or sports kit or another aspect of uniform policy
If you are unable to provide a breakdown of each incident, please provide summary totals for each academic year with the same breakdown.
If you are unable to provide annual totals, please provide details of the system used to track student behaviour and how that is monitored by staff, e.g. how they are able to identify those students who have been sanctioned most often.
Yours faithfully,
James Denley

Dear Mr Denley,
Apologies for the delay in responding. It is very busy in schools at this
time of year.
The school has looked into your request to “… provide a breakdown, for
each of the last five academic years, including the current academic year,
of all punishments issued for misconduct relating to uniform (e.g. wearing
wrong uniform, not wearing uniform, wearing forbidden items, etc). For
each incident please provide: The nature of the punishment, The nature of
the misconduct, Whether it related to school uniform or sports kit or
another aspect of uniform policy” and can confirm that it is out of the
scope of our current behaviour recording systems.
Furthermore, your request to “… provide summary totals for each academic
year with the same breakdown” is again out of the scope of our current
behaviour recording systems.
Finally, as far as your request to “… provide details of the system used
to track student behaviour and how that is monitored by staff, e.g. how
they are able to identify those students who have been sanctioned most
often”, the school can confirm that the system used to track student
behaviour is the Behaviour module of the Progresso Management Information
System (MIS) and Staff can identify patterns of student behaviour by
utilising the Reporting module of the same MIS.
Kind Regards.
Chris Etheridge
Headteacher
