Celebration of Learning

At Newlands we encourage our pupils to value their learning opportunities showing determination and resillience in order to succeed. We recognise pupils' attitude to learning as well as achievement and reward this in a variety of ways.

Pupils earn dojo points for manners, respect, correct uniform, reading at home, punctuality, effort and achievement. Pupils can choose how they spend their dojos with rewards set by the school council.

Pupils who read 100 times in a term select a book of their choice. Certificates are given when pupils reach 25, 50 and 75 reads. The class which reads the most times in a week also earns a prize or reward.

Pupils who attend school every day receive a certificate, badge and pencil in our termly superstars and pupils reaching 96% also receive a certificate and pencil. Attendance is celebrated weekly in assembly and a trophey is awarded to the class with the best attendance. If the whole school attendance is above 96% by the end of the year, governors reward pupils with a "wheelathon" event where pupils bring in bikes, scooters, skateboards etc.

In our weekly assembly 2 children from each class receive star of the week awards and termly 2 superstars from each class are chosen for consistently high standards of behaviour, attitude, effort or learning.
