Discretionary Points

Up to 10 discretionary points may be awarded to a student at the end of his/her school career for an exceptional contribution to the life of the school.

Nominations for discretionary points may be made by staff and are awarded by the Headmaster acting on the advice of the Graduation Committee which consists of the Headmaster, the Heads of Level and the Head of English.

 Discretionary Points are awarded under the following headings:

Loss of graduation Points

Graduation points can be lost for the disciplinary reasons and also for poor attendance or punctuality. These will be deducted at the Headmaster’s discretion.

Acceptance of Graduation

Some students will find that they are awarded only one or two points less than they needed to obtain a higher level of graduation. They must accept the decision of the Fleming Graduation Committee. They should not ask teachers to award extra discretionary points as this will be regarded negatively and may in fact result in a reduction of graduation points
