A student charter is a type of regulation that lays down all the agreements, rights, and obligations of students at school. It is there to provide clarity on what you can expect from the school and what the school expects from you.
In a student charter, you'll find, for example:
- Pupil rights
- Right to a good education.
- The right to a safe environment at school.
- Right to express your opinion (for example, by means of) student council).
- Pupils' duties
- You must adhere to the school rules.
- You must treat teachers and fellow pupils with respect.
- Rules about
- How tests and exams are organised.
- How to object to a decision.
- What happens in case of suspension or removal.
In short: the student charter is there to guarantee fairness and clarity, so that everyone knows where they stand. Would you like to know more about this? The full student charter can be found on the Tabor College website.
