From our Deputy Head

Since the beginning of the term the school as a whole has been practicing the value of Respect. We take time to do this because, for all of us, it takes a long time to develop this quality in such a way that it works in all aspects of daily life.
Recently in order to support the development of all the school values more fully, we have introduced the Eagle Awards in recognition of a suggestion made by the Head Boy of 2016 Callum Hoye.
These awards recognise of the demonstration of any one of the values and allow opportunity for children to be acknowledged for their efforts to develop strong character.
So far two awards have been given out, one for Respect and one for Courage. Hopefully this will grow to be an award that teachers have the pleasure of handing out regularly.
