Standards are important to all the students’ activities in school and there are four particular expectations.

1  Hard Work.

2  Good manners and courtesy.

3  A high standard of discipline.

4  A good attendance record.

In order to ensure that good work, effort and behaviour are rewarded, there is a Merit Award Scheme. Individual ‘Star of the Week’ awards are made for every class.  These ‘special mentions’ gain individual rewards for the students.

We also have a system where the students can gain Merit Tokens in return for meeting individually negotiated weekly targets.  These could relate to behaviour or personal and social development.  Tokens can be redeemed for gifts from the Merit Token Shop.

Students can also earn nominations within the SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) Programme which can also earn merits and prizes.
