House Points - How we reward achievement.
SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON EFFORT
At Monkhouse, we place a high importance on children being ready for learning and know their behaviour and effort are essential ingredients in supporting them to achieve success. We understand that rewarding children for achievements , conduct and effort is a crucial part of enabling our children to learn.
In addition to using house points to motivate and reward children we use the house system for House assemblies , sports day and other activities within school. This gives an additional sense of belonging and competitiveness . Each house has a Head of House member of staff.
Aspirations
Children feel valued through being rewarded. This does not have to be for academic achievement or effort but for trying to be the absolute best they can be in attitude and citizenship - it is proven that positive conditioning in childhood develops sustained positive behaviour in adulthood.
Every week, the winning house get a 5 minute extra break and each term the winning house are rewarded with a special treat.
