Bravo!

At Burrington, we believe it is vital to recognise pupils for efforts made.

Friday’s assembly is a celebration of good things that have happened during the week and children may be presented with a certificate or the Headteacher’s award for caring and consideration.

Each class teacher may also award certificates or stickers in recognition for achievement, progress in a variety of areas including behaviour, social or academic success, or our school values. Our caretaker and support staff also recognise special achievement.

On the last day of each term we hold a special awards service to which parents and carers are invited. Various cups, shields and trophies are awarded.  Children are nominated for awards by the teaching staff (although not necessarily the child’s class teacher) and the various nominations from all age groups are discussed at length before an award is decided.

The award can be given for excellence, or a particular achievement in a subject.  They can also be given for good effort and for all round good progress, including our 'High 5' behaviour principles.  The awards themselves have often been given to the school by children or staff who previously attended Burrington, on the occasion of their leaving. In the ceremony, the child will come to the front, be presented with their award, and the nominating member of staff will give a short speech explaining the reason for the nomination. The School Council nominate the 'Good Egg' Award.

If your child is given an award, they may keep it until the penultimate week of the next term, when it should be returned in a clean condition ready for the next recipient.
