School Rules
Our school rules are:
RESPECT PEOPLE
RESPECT PROPERTY
RESPECT LEARNING
We also have a set of Gold Standards for behaviour and learning which complement our school rules. We have high expectations for our pupils and our rules reflect our strategies for success. Our Gold Standards are visible around school and in classrooms and are revisited in assemblies and children are rewarded for following our Gold Standards through house point rewards and star of the week certificates.
More information on our school rules and Gold Standards can be found here.
House points
We operate a house point system to reward good behaviour, effort, good work and collaboration. Each child is a member of a coloured house which has a House Captain and a Vice Captain. The Captains nominate themselves and are chosen by their peers through a voting system. Each week the Captains collect the house points and the weekly totals are shared in celebration assembly. Every term the winning house chooses a treat as part of their celebration.
More information on house points can be found here.
