At St Martin’s, our weekly Celebration Worship is a highlight of the week. Pupils are recognised for a range of achievements and successes and parents are invited to share in this success.

School Values- Nominated by the class teacher and LSA

This award is presented to a pupil that has demonstrated one of our eight school values during the week.

Class Dojo Certificates

Children are awarded ClassDojo points throughout the week for a range of reasons such as:

• Following the school rules
• Demonstrating our school values
• Great effort in their learning
• Achievement in their learning such as spelling tests, moving up a reading level, Times Table Rock Star success
• Well-presented work
• Positive behaviour in the playground
• Stand Out Learners

When they achieve 25 points they receive a bronze certificate, for 50 points- a silver certificate, 75 points- a gold certificate and finally if they achieve 100 points a Platinum certificate. We start again each term.

Good Samaritan Award – Nominated by pupils

The children look forward to finding out who has won this award each week, as the winner is nominated by the pupils. The winner of this award will have demonstrated our school values in their actions towards others. This relates to the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Luke 10:25-37

Behaviour Award – Nominated by SLT

We encourage all pupils to demonstrate positive behaviour to ensure a positive learning environment. This includes how they behave outside the classroom and we set high expectations that they move around the building quietly, calmly and in an organised manner. The class that has set a good example all week achieves class recognition.

Attendance and Punctuality

The class with the highest attendance wins a class certificate as well as an extra playtime. If they achieve 100% that week as well, they get to choose what they wear to school the following Friday! At the end of the term, pupils that have had 100% attendance all term receive a certificate. The class with the best punctuality each week also receives a certificate.
