Praise, Rewards & Celebration

Praise, reward, and celebration are the fundamental heartbeat of our school ethos. We firmly believe that acknowledging and celebrating a student's positive contributions is the most powerful tool for fostering high standards, boosting motivation, and creating a supportive learning environment where every child feels valued. Our structured reward system is designed to recognise achievement and character in equal measure.

Our school employs a comprehensive, multi-layered system of praise and reward, ensuring that positive contributions are consistently acknowledged:

  • Daily Recognition: This includes verbal praise and the frequent use of points systems linked to our values. These points accumulate and will lead to privileges or prizes, immediately reinforcing positive actions.

  • Communication Home: We regularly share your child’s successes through certificates, postcards, emails, or phone calls to ensure parents and carers are active partners in celebrating achievement.

  • Formal Celebration: We hold regular Celebration Assemblies to publically recognise outstanding students with certificates and special awards. Our calendar also features more formal events, such as Awards Evenings and Principal Commendations, to honour sustained excellence and significant character development.

  • Incentive Rewards: Students who consistently meet our high standards may earn exclusive incentives, such as special reward trips or access to unique privileges within the school.
