We believe that it is important to celebrate achievements.  As part of our 'Good to be Green' behaviour and reward system, each week, children may be given a certificate, a gold letter from a member of staff or a certificate from Mr Dickinson, Miss Copestake or Miss James.

   

Each week, children are chosen by teachers to receive awards to celebrate their achievements.  

This week, awards have been given to:

  • Yousif A for determination with reading and writing.
  • Keerat K for enjoying joining in with activities
  • Riella W for excellent independent work in DT.
  • Adam B for always having an excellent attitude in DT and being extremely proactive.

Dropping off or collecting children in the main school playground

When you are dropping off or collecting children from the main school playground, please continue to stand behind the line instead of coming up to the windows.  This helps us to see the children at all times and keep everyone safe.
