Star Behaviour Recognition
Golden Time and Golden Assemblies
Every week, if I have kept the ‘Golden Rules’ and used my core values and thinking skills, I get to take part in all of my ‘Golden Time’. This is a fun, twenty-five minute session at the end of the week where I can choose the activities I do. I will also get a Gold Star sticker to take home and show my parents/carers.
During the week, if I begin to break a Golden Rule I will be given a clear reminder to help me to improve my behaviour. My name will also be added to the ‘thought bubble’ as a visual reminder. I can then choose to continue breaking the rule and consequently lose minutes from my Golden Time, or I can change my behaviour to keep the Golden Rules and remain on the Golden Star with the rest of the class who are following the rules. If I break a ‘non-negotiable’ rule – swearing or hurting someone on purpose - I will lose 5 minutes of my Golden Time automatically. Every time I lose 5 minutes of Golden Time I will also lose a break/lunch-time, and my parents/carers will receive a ‘note-home’. If this occurs three times in a half-term, Mrs Bardetti/Miss Cole will be involved and it will be decided if a behaviour plan is necessary in order to help me succeed in my learning.
Every Friday there is a ‘Golden Assembly’ where pupils from across the school are awarded ‘Golden Award’ certificates for special things they have achieved that week. We also have attendance and late bears called Ollie and Holly; if my class has the best attendance and punctuality (8.50am) we are visited by the bears for the week! Each term, if I have attended school every day, I earn a Bronze, Silver or Gold badge.
At the end of each term, if I haven't lost any minutes of Golden Time, I get to participate in a celebration activity such as a Beach Schools session. This is to recognise all the pupils that maintain a consistently high standard in their behaviour. See some of the activities below, and also, some information about our termly winning-team events.

Every term each phase also have different themed teams. For example, while Lower School were learning through their theme of mini-beasts, pupils across the year group were either part of a ladybird, spider, centipede or grasshopper group! Whilst exploring learning through the Egyptians, pupils in middle school have earned 'gold' for their pharaoh...
Pupils can earn 'crystals' for their team for any positive behaviour or achievement, and from any adult in the school. For example, for being polite, solving a friendship problem, making a lot of effort or showing creativity in a piece of art. At the end of each term, the winning teams from across the school participate in a cross-phase educational activity.
Over the years these activities have included time with our pets in the rainbow room, cooking with our Catering Manager and Governor-Mrs Williams, gardening and forest fun with our Site Manager or Mrs Gilbert, dance with Mrs Clemenson, art and craft activities with Mrs Bates or Mrs Hudson and science experiments and drama with Governors Mr Freebody and Mr McCarthy!
