In cases of extreme behaviour we reserve the right to ‘skip’ stages if we feel it is appropriate. All pupils are given equal access to the curriculum and all pupils will be subject to the same reward and sanction procedures.
Rewards:
Rewards are given for a wide range of achievements such as being helpful, good or improving work, politeness, good behaviour, representing the school, outside school achievements etc.
Rewards will be given in the following ways:
positive body language
named praise and encouragement
showing the class, another teacher or the head teacher a piece of work
stickers for good work, effort and/or behaviour
each class will have a ‘star of the week’ chosen for good work or behaviour
Achievement Assembly:
If your child receives 10 stickers on their chart they will be entered into the Achievement Assembly. Teachers can also put children straight into the Achievement Assembly. These will be publicly acknowledged in an assembly each week. Certificates will be awarded. Children are also encouraged to bring in achievements from home (swimming certificates etc..) to share with the school during this assembly.
Acheivement Assembly points are tallied each week and a ‘prize’ will be awarded at the end of each term to the children with the most points.
John Burnett Trophy:
John Burnett, a previous caretaker of the school, has donated a trophy to the school to be awarded each term. This trophy is presented to a child who has shown the greatest improvement over the term. We are very pleased to welcome Mr Burnet to our end of
