Well done!

In order to promote self-esteem amongst pupils, positive behaviour is recognised by rewarding such things as commitment, initiative, responsibility, self-discipline, good manners, exceptional work etc.

Rewards may take many forms - verbal praise, positive reports, written commendations to parents, positive comments in the pupil planner.

Merits can be awarded, for instance, when a single piece of work is of exceptional quality (bearing in mind the ability of the pupil), or when the pupil has performed a significant act of kindness.  Staff indicate that a merit has been awarded by writing in the pupil planner. This is then countersigned and recorded by the Form Tutors, who keep a record for each pupil.  Sustained good work and positive attitudes are recognised in the grade system and in reports.

In addition to the Merit system, school prizes, sports colours and Principal's commendation certificates may be awarded for valuable contributions to the school community, or for individual performances, both in the classroom and beyond. House and school positions of responsibility are also the outcome of positive behaviour.
