In the Junior School it is our aim to ensure that every member
of the school community feels valued and respected and that each
person is treated fairly and well. For example, a playground buddy
system helps to ensure that all children enjoy a happy playtime. We
praise and reward children for good behaviour and work in a variety
of ways:
House points
The children are divided into five houses based around the theme
of 'The Lake District'. Every month there is a house meeting and a
cup is awarded to the house with the most points. There is also an
individual cup for the person who has gained the most house points.
House points are awarded for excellent work, effort and
courteousness.
Merits
Merits are awarded either for consistent good work or behaviour
or to acknowledge outstanding effort or acts of kindness in
school.
Achievement Assembly
A special weekly assembly celebrates children's achievements
from both home and school. Recent achievements include
participating at The Horse of The Year Show, selection for the
British Gymnastics Tournament and representing Bolton in the
National Schools' Chess Tournament.
I really like achievements assembly because I get to know what
people do out of school.
