PUPUL OF THE MONTH

We operate a rewards system where staff upload points for pupils who have earned them. These points are collated at the end of each half-term, and rewards are presented at a special whole school assembly. We gather as a whole school community to celebrate the achievements of our pupils who had been awarded the top points in each year group and received a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award.

Staff upload points to the system on a daily basis for a huge range of reasons including, excellent responses to homework, participation in group work, reading out loud for the class, showing improvement in any aspect of school life, showing kindness, sharing, assisting staff and others, catching up on work while absent, making corrections to work, trying something new and many others too numerous to list.

We look for the small things that pupils might think go unnoticed and recognise their importance to the individual and highlight their benefit to the whole class - "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in day out". (Robert Colier - Author).

Congratulations to all our recipients, and keep up the good work.
