Praise and rewards
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Our school culture is based on celebrating everyone’s talents and achievements. We do this
in many ways – by saying ‘well done’, by awarding merits in and out of lessons, by sending letters
and postcards home. Year Groups also receive awards and praise/acknowledgement through
our Achievement Assemblies. In addition, there are some rewards events throughout the year,
including celebration breakfasts, pizza parties and rewards trips
