USE OF IRIS
- IRIS is the discipline system used by the school and must be used by ALL staff for positive and negative issues.
- If staff have any difficulty using IRIS please ask H.O.Y.
- Technical difficulties should be reported to I.T technicians (ext 155)
- All incidents must be recorded as soon as possible.
- Heads of Year will check IRIS weekly, and reserve the right to amend any entries.
- For multiple incidents for any pupil in one lesson, please enter under the HIGHEST category as the Primary event, and list all other events as Secondary.
- Staff are expected to enter at least one positive Iris point per lesson, but please be careful not to devalue these points by excessive use. (It would be rare for a pupil to be given more than one Iris point from any one lesson.)
