9. School Rewards
We praise and reward children for good behaviour in a variety of ways:
teachers congratulate children;
pupils receive stickers or stamps to acknowledge good behaviour;
we distribute ticks to children in key stage two either for good work, reading, behaviour, or to acknowledge outstanding effort or acts of kindness in school. These ticks are accumulated and pupils are awarded certificates for every 10 merits they receive;
each week we nominate 1 child from each class to receive an achievement award and 1 child to receive an ethos award
each week 1 children from each class is nominated to receive a lunchtime award
all classes have an opportunity to lead a class assembly where they are able to show examples of their best work.

10. Discipline Traffic light system: Green – good behaviour
Amber – verbal warning
Red – spend 5 minutes in another classroom, reflecting on their behaviour.
Continued misbehaviour:
Work in another classroom for a longer period of time and miss the next playtime. During this playtime they will be expected to discuss with an adult what they did and how this behaviour has impacted on themselves and others.
Meeting will be called between the classteacher and the parents. Following on from this meeting, a meeting with the headteacher would be requested if an improvement to behaviour had not occurred.
If a child threatens, hurts or bullies another pupil, the class teacher records the incident and the child is punished. If a child repeatedly acts in a way that disrupts or upsets others, the school contacts the child’s parents and seeks an appointment in order to discuss the situation, with a view to improving the behaviour of the child.
