At the end of every term, the pupils whom staff deem to be working within the school’s expectations will be rewarded by being allowed to watch a film in the hall as well as being offered a drink and snack. For those pupils who are deemed to be working beneath the schools expectations, regular lessons will be attended. As you are aware, the vast majority of our pupils work well in lessons; however, we hope that pupils will strive to achieve their very best and, for that reason, it has been decided that, for this term, the percentage of pupils being rewarded will be around the 60% mark. As you know, our monitoring system has been revised during the year and now, pupils considered to be ‘passive’ learners, will be awarded 2 points whereas, in the past, they might have been awarded 1. Hopefully, this will be clear; however, should you require further explanation then please contact your child’s Form Tutor of any member of the Pastoral Team on the usual telephone number. 3.
