Rewards and Sanctions at Chingford Foundation School - An Overview
At Chingford Foundation School, we feel that it is especially important to recognise the effort, hard-work and success of our pupils. We believe that raising aspirations and changing attitudes to disengaging behaviours will result in improved educational outcomes and increased achievement. We also recognise that when students feel valued and behave well this enables the most successful teaching and learning to take place and the greatest progress to be made. The policy ensures that all staff are aware of our procedures in order to ensure that consistency follows. It is for the information of parents/carers, governors and Trustees and those who visit the school, in order that these parties will understand the principles which underpin our practice and understand the procedures we adopt in school. In line with our commitment to our CARE Values, it is our intention to offer every opportunity for students to receive credit and to ensure that our sanctions are fair, are consistently weighted and equitably applied.
- We support students to become well-rounded individuals by basing our reward system around giving credit not only for achievement but also for upholding our CARE values.
- All staff have a part to play in the recognition, rewards and sanctions in the school.
- Students should take responsibility for their own behaviour, efforts and work in order to gain the results needed to be recognised for rewards. Intrinsic motivation is essential to long term success.
- We have high expectations of behaviour for all members of the school community and encourage leadership through modelling of this from staff and older students.
- By Students, Staff, Governors and Trustees working together in partnership, the promotion of high standards of behaviour will be achieved.
- Unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with promptly and appropriately, recognising the need for education as well as sanctions which offer a reflective and redemptive path back into the wider school community.
