Awards

Each week we have a Wow assembly where we collectively celebrate children's achievements. Teachers nominate children to show work completed to a particularly good standard for the children involved. Awards are presented and other recent achievements of individuals or groups of children are recognised. For example competitions entered by school sports teams or children who have achieved in out of school interests. House points are also collated for the week with a star being presented to the house with the most points. At the end of each term, the house cup is presented to the house that has accumulated the most stars across the term.

We also recognise and reflect upon the importance of the qualities represented within our Five C’s (i.e. caring, considerate, conscientious, cooperative and courteous). We celebrate and reward children who consistently demonstrate these qualities.

At the end of each school term a number of awards are presented to children linked to our 4 key outlooks. Children may receive one of the following:

  • A Creative Outlook Award 
  • A Global Outlook Award
  • An Enterprising Outlook Award
  • A Healthy Outlook Award

The Mrs Morriss Award is presented each term to the child who demonstrates a commitment to the school through helping others.

A record of children’s achievements for each term is kept in a special book which may be viewed in the school entrance.

In addition to the above there are regular certificates presented to children throughout the school for swimming, gymnastics, house events, attendance, and recognition is given of other sporting, charitable and community achievements. We feel that it is important to recognise and reward a positive approach to school life. House points and merit awards or stickers for good work, attitudes and behaviour particularly as a result of effort are an important part of classroom life.
