Positive attitudes

Student Council

Positive AttitudesThe Student Council is composed of representatives of each year group, the members of the council being elected by their class colleagues. The aim of the council is to provide the pupils with a forum in which their views can be expressed and acted upon in order to improve the school. Members have been involved in a variety of activities working in partnership with the Senior Leadership and Management Team and outside agencies. Members of the council, through consultation with pupils and other interested parties have an opportunity to suggest improvements for the school and give feedback on school policy and initiatives.


School Meals

The school currently offers a cafeteria service where pupils select items on a self-service basis. Breakfast is available in the morning and snacks are available at break time and lunch time. As a health-promoting school, we encourage pupils to follow a healthy diet. We continue to promote healthy eating in school through the implementation of initiatives and schemes to promote healthy eating for pupils.

St Louis provides an environment in which personal and academic development is encouraged and rewarded. The school expects that all pupils show high standards of behaviour at all times and recognises four operating principles upon which the code is based:

  • It is expected that pupils act with courtesy, consideration and respect towards one another.
  • Pupils must co-operate fully to enable effective teaching and learning to take place.
  • Pupils must behave in a manner so as to ensure the safety of people and property at school.
  • Pupils must be mindful of their image and appearance and that of the school and its environment.

On admission, each pupil is given a copy of the Positive Behaviour Policy. School rules are clearly stated in this, and also in the Student Planner. Most breaches of discipline are dealt with by referral within the Pastoral System. When a serious breach of discipline occurs, parents will automatically be contacted and the appropriate sanction will be put in place. In very serious instances the School reserves the right to exclude pupils. Concerns about a pupil's safety should be reported to the Designated Child Protection Teacher.
