I am never sure about this one but know enough that I need to check it .

Should this be PractiSE or PractiCe please, in this context?

Definitely practice.

Lovely, thank you.

I didn't write this, I hasten to add. It's in a school policy I'm reviewing!

Practise is the spelling for the verb and practice is a noun except in the US where they use practice for both.

The way I remember whether it's a C or S in this instance is by thinking of advice/advise.

Practise is the verb, practice is the noun. Think: "I advise you to take my advice."

‘Good practice’ - adjective and noun (‘practice’ with a ‘c’).

The verb is with an ‘s’ - e.g. I need to practise the piano.
