Rewards
We ensure that our children are rewarded in a variety of ways to help motivate them and celebrate their successes. We believe rewarding for effort, achievements and demonstrating our school values are very important in developing confidence to succeed.
Individual Rewards
At Kings Hill children can receive different types of individual rewards such as:-
- Merits on their 'Record of Achievement' Cards (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Special Award Level). Once a level is completed, children will receive a certificate and a token to go towards the house award.
- Super Merit Awards (These are given out at the end of each term and parents are invited to come and watch - in secret!)
Class Rewards
Children can receive a behaviour token when they show the school values. once the value token tubes are full, the class are able to choose a treat afternoon of their choice. This could include playing games on the field or having a picnic together.
Classes can win the Kings Hill School Bear each week for something excellent that they have done. Sometimes they win this for leading a wonderful assembly or showing excellent behaviour on a school trip. Children are always very keen to win this bear no matter whether they are in Reception or Year 6 !
House Awards
Each year there will also be the winning house with the greatest number of house points. This house will receive a special house trophy. Special house awards are also given to the houses during inter-house sports competitions such as football or netball.
What has been particularly special has been the emergence of an inclusive, consistent, thoughtfully planned and warming school community atmosphere eg with newsletters, harvest celebration, carol concerts, parent assemblies. It seems that anyone at KHS can be recognised and celebrated either individually or in groups.
