Team points

All children have a team point card, earning team points for their efforts with learning, behaviour and positive attitude around school. Each time a team point is awarded, the school adult signs the card.

The card is full when it has 25 points. A team point certificate is then awarded and the child brings this home.  A new second team point card is then issued. Over the year, the number of certificates can increase, with most children achieving around 6-7 certificates, although we have had children achieving 12!

Team points are also counted each week, and count towards the school House team total.

The running total is announced in Celebration assembly each week.

Last term, the Kingfishers were the winning team.

Out of school achievements

It could be participating in an event, getting a commendation in a competition, achieving a certificate or passing an exam…
