  • Super 7s – Well Done!

    Published 26/03/24

    As part of our behaviour policy, in every lesson, each student is given a score.  Students receiving a 7 have exceeded expectations for the lesson. The following week the names of the students will be compiled and they will each receive 7 house points. Shortly after this, they will be presented with their Super 7 wristband which provides them with:

    1. Queue jump for themselves and one friend for all break times and lunch times throughout the week.
    2. An invite for a Friday hot chocolate with the Headteacher and House Leaders.

    Super 7’s 18th-22nd March 2024
