Supporting Positive Behaviour
PRAISE
The school’s aim is to recognise, reward and promote positive behaviour. There are a number of opportunities to reward positive behaviour from students:
Verbal praise
All staff should regularly praise good effort and positive conduct from students
Praise Points (1 point)
Awarded to students for good effort and focus throughout a whole lesson
Clean slates (15 reward points)
Students who do not acquire any consequences in a week achieve a clean slate
Praise postcards (40 rewards)
Students who have shown consistent excellent effort over a half-term will receive a praise postcard
Form Group of the term
The form group in each year group with the highest number of accumulated points for attendance and achievement will have a special lunch and receive the year group trophy
Form Group of the year
The form group in each year group with the highest number of accumulated points for attendance and achievement go on a reward trip in the summer term
