• Thank you Friday

  Fri 26 Nov 2021

  Each Friday any pupils who have been recognised by teachers and teaching assistants for going 'above and beyond' come for a Thank you Friday celebration with myself.  This week 14 pupils from F2 - Y6 came for juice and biscuits and then received a prize and a certificate to reward their achievements.  Each week, all the pupils are given the opportunity to take part in our weekly assembly and explain to the whole school why they were recognised, most pupils are brave enough to!  Since September over 100 pupils have joined me for the celebration and some pupils have been more than once.
