Rewards and Praise

At King’s Sutton Primary Academy, we aim to recognise, reward and praise all children for their efforts and achievements in a variety of ways. There is a robust system of rewards in our academy which is used by all staff to actively promote high standards of behaviour, discipline, effort and achievement. 

Class Code of Conduct

When setting their class code of conduct at the start of the academic year each class will discuss the use of Dojos for demonstrating good conduct within and around the school. These Dojos will be collected and monitored weekly in classes. All children with 50 dojos or more in the 5 days will go into the prize draw for a treat with the Headteacher - usually a Hot Chocolate! Winners are  announced in Celebration Assembly each week and teachers share what the pupils have been doing to earn so many Dojos.

Class Dojo

We use Class Dojo to recognise and reward good behaviours. These rewards are given to individuals, the whole class or house groups. The class can earn Dojos against an agreed target number and reward, such as a class movie afternoon with popcorn.

House Teams 

We have four House Teams: Watt,  Scott,  Faraday and Parks and each child within our school is a member of one of the houses.  We use Houses to create a sense of collaboration throughout our school and we support each House Team during events such as Sports Day where each house competes for the Sports Day Trophy. 

Learning about social behaviour and behaviour for positive learning

Our Behaviour Curriculum focuses on the explicit teaching of values and desired behaviours and in supporting children's social development.

Star of the Week

Each week, the staff will choose a child in each class who has made a contribution to their class, linked to the values of Responsibility, Respect, Ambition, Courage and Pride, to receive a Star of the Week award which will be celebrated in Celebration Assembly.

Celebration Assembly

We hold a weekly Celebration Assembly, when the whole school comes together to recognise and celebrate successes from across our school community. These include rewards from within school, as well as awards from activities out of school, such as music or sports achievements.
