Behaviour
Each week 1 child from each class is selected by their teacher to receive the Chestnut Superstar Award for their class. A child could receive these for a variety of reasons such as progress in a particular subject, showing resilience and perseverance or upholding our school church values. The children are presented with their certificate on our Friday celebration assembly where the teacher announces who the class superstar is for the week and the reasons why.
Behaviour reward system
‘Chestnut Behaviour Champions (CBC)’
- Points are collected through the Class Dojo app from EYFS-Y6.
- The points collected are counted, and certificates presented at the agreed levels. 90 Class Dojo points must be collected for each of the 4 stages.
- There are 4 certificates in order - bronze, silver, gold and Chestnut Behaviour Champion (CBC)
- Once a child has received the next CBC stage, the Class Dojo points will be re-set for each individual child, so the next 90 can be collected.
- Once a child has been presented with all 4 certificates they become a ‘CBC’ and have their badge presented in a celebration assembly. Parents will be invited for this presentation.
Last date for CBC status to be awarded: tbc
Date of afternoon tea: tbc
