New Certificates


You may be aware if your child has received any certificates recently that we have changed our use of certificates, cups and stickers to uniform use throughout the school and also to focus on children who work exceptionally hard throughout the school year.

Below is a summary of the changes we have made.

Each term cups and certificates are handed out to individual children in each class for the following subjects:

Creative Arts, PE, Maths, English and ICT.

Seven children per class are also awarded certificates for demonstrating any of the 7 aspects of our Caterpillar Citizenship standards.

We also have two new certificates which will be handed out in assemblies by Mr Farrington, these are, ‘Home School Learning’ and ‘WOW! Writing’.

Certificates which will be used in Praise assemblies or throughout the week by the Class teacher are:

* Well done for ___ from your class teacher

* ______ has been praised today in Praise assembly

A new sticker is going to be handed out throughout the week by team members for children who display excellent citizenship skills on a daily basis.

* ‘I got this for being a good citizen!’ Look out for these!!

New Praise cards

We have designed new praise cards which will solely focus on behaviour. The new system will split the school into two stages, KS1 and KS2. Each child will have a praise card and when excellent behaviour has been seen a child will be awarded a stamp on their card. The children will work towards the following levels:

KS 1 - Bronze (25), Silver (50), Gold (75), and then platinum (100)

They will then begin again on a new card when entering Yr 3.

KS 2 – Bronze (25), Silver (50), Gold (75), and then platinum (100)

When the child achieves an award they will receive a colour certificate in whole school assembly by Mr Farrington.

I hope this clarifies what you may have been seeing coming home recently. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask the class teachers about the new system.
