Along with praising attendance, having a good work ethic and wider participation in school life; students work towards the Lion badges. If students achieve in all of the following areas they receive a lion badge which is awarded at one of presentation evenings that celebrated with the pupils families and our staff. Embracing our core values around the school Striving for an excellent attitude to learning Excellent attendance Promoting the culture, ethics and values of the King John School in the community Students should be aiming earn and receive a red lion badge in year 7 and then if this positive behaviour and attendance continues each year a new Lion badge is awarded. Year 8 Bronze, Year 9 Silver, Year 10 Gold, Year 11 Platinum. On a daily basis teachers award achievement points in recognition of a student doing something exceptional in the lesson, as part of independent study or by displaying kindness or excellent manners in and around school and taking part in whole school and wider community activities. The school believes that quality relationships are built upon recognising the efforts of all students. To complement the expectation card we also have a KJS Core value ‘Gold’ card. This is to allow students who continually do the right thing to be rewarded outside of the classroom. Gaining a full card ensures additional achievement points and promotes positive behaviours. Additional rewards include: Subject Badges Awards Evening Badges Sport Colours Student Voice Jack Petchey Literacy Leader Prefect Duke of Edinburgh Leadership Awards Academic Awards At the end of the year students that have a positive rewards point’s total (in the green) are invited to the end of year trip with the rest of their year group. This is a celebration of their efforts over the past academic year. Prize giving evenings Prize Giving is an annual event for years 7 to 10. In most cases awards are sponsored with a cup for academic achievement and a shield for endeavour. In Years 7 and 8 prizes are awarded to a boy and a girl in each subject and category. In Years 9 and 10 the award is either for a boy or a girl in each subject and category. Each subject area nominates students for the awards. There are additional awards for Outstanding Achievement, Community Service, Role models and Services to the School. We are always looking for sponsors for our awards – please contact the School if you are able to help with this.
