In Trouble at School

  • Even if you are in trouble at school, you still have your ‘children’s rights’
  • Your school can put consequences in place for you if you break the rules, but it still has to respect you
  • You should still get your education, even if you have broken the school rules

Wherever you are educated, there will be rules, or some kind of behaviour charter that you’re expected to follow. Your school may ask the pupils what they think of the rules, or they may not. However the ‘rules’ at your school or pupil referral unit are made, and whether they are called ‘rules’ or a ‘behaviour charter’ or something else, there will be consequences in place for pupils who decide not to follow them. This section of the website looks at your rights if you break the rules, and what could happen to you.
