Headteacher Awards

Every week, all members of staff are asked to nominate children who have been spotted being responsible, respectful and ready. The code of conduct certificates are always varied and demonstrate the range of places and ways that children demonstrate these values.

Be Responsible

Well done to the children who have been responsible this week.

Henry V (Y2) has helped to tidy some equipment up, that wasn't his, without being asked.

Sam (Y4) chose to hand in some money he found on the playground that wasn't his. Thank you for your honesty.

Toby F (Y1) for offering to swap his locker with someone in reception who couldn't reach theirs. A very kind choice to make.

Be Respectful

Well done to the children who have been respectful this week.

Davin and Oscar D (Y4) for helping Mrs Shannon to carry some heavy boxes through school - she was very thankful.

A child in Year 2 has been spotted helping another child find a book and then supporting them to read it by opening it too!

Jake (Y3) has helped to keep the classroom tidy all week without being asked. Thank you.

Be Ready

Well done to the children who have been ready this week.

Dens and Diggers
