All adults who you meet at Haven High Academy will be willing to listen to you if you have a problem.
Your form tutor is the teacher who will take your register first thing in the morning. You will also stay with them for a ‘form period’ of twenty-five minutes for form-based work and activities.
Your form tutor is one of the main people you would go to if you had a problem.
We are very fortunate to have non-teaching Head of Year. Mr Martyn Miles and Mrs Helen Bates are our Behaviour and pastoral leaders at the Tollfield campus.
If there is a problem with your behaviour one of those members of staff will investigate and administer our behaviour system as they see fit.
If it is a problem of a more personal nature, problems with bullying, problems at home; Miss McCranior is here to help.

Anti-Bullying at Haven High Academy
The schools anti-bullying policy and school documentation can be obtained from the school website at the following location: Key Information
A Haven High Academy we believe that all students, whatever their race, culture, gender, faith, sexual orientation, physical or intellectual abilities have the right to:
- a safe and secure environment at school and on the way to and from school
- concentrate on their educational progress without fearing others
We promote an environment which teaches students respect for others and where all members of the academy are encouraged to contribute to a caring and effective atmosphere.
All students are encouraged to speak to a member of staff if they are being made to feel uncomfortable at school or if they witness this happening to others.
Bullying cannot be dealt with if the academy is unaware of the problem so please make sure you report your worries to a trusted member of staff so actions can be taken. You can report bullying to any member of staff within the Academy and they are legally required to pass on this information to the key pastoral staff as shown below so actions can be taken.
Bullying can take many forms:
- Physical – hitting, kicking, and taking belongings
- Verbal – name calling, insulting, making offensive remarks.
- Indirect – spreading nasty stories about someone, exclusion from social groups, being made the subject of malicious rumours, sending malicious e- mails or text messages on mobile phones.
- Cyber-bullying, aggression using electronic forms of contact such as e-mail, text, chat rooms, social network, social messaging, on-line gaming.
- Coercion – forcing somebody to do something they do not want to do.
Bullying is not tolerated at Haven High academy.
If you (your child) experiences any form of bullying they should speak to their form tutor or Mr Miles/Mrs Bates who will investigate the issue. This could result in sanctions against the bully in line with our behaviour system.
Making Friends
- Be pleasant to those around you (including teachers)
- Work hard and be someone people look up to.
- Invite someone to eat lunch with you.
- Join a Club
- Speak to people on your journey to/from school.
- Making friends at a new school is easy and your form tutor will help you with tasks and challenges in your form time.
