WOW System
AIM? To encourage all children to successfully meet our SCHOOL RULES
* I follow instructions.
* I keep control of my hands, feet, mouth and objects.
* I use positive language.
* In everything I do, I will produce my best work.
* We work hard and let everyone else work hard.
DOJOs
We use the DOJO system to reward children with points for good work and behaviour. These are sent home to parents through the app on a regular daily basis.
Overview of our Home School Links
We are very pleased to see parents coming into our school. We all appreciate your time and efforts
whether you come into school regularly or just occasionally. Your assistance is very valuable to us
and especially to the children who benefit from the extra support given in the class.
Please always remember to sign the visitor’s book and to sign out again when you leave. This is for
security purposes.
We have a number of Guidelines here at Burstwick School. As time passes you will know more about
what we expect of the children who attend the school and how you can help the teacher by supporting the children in the classes.
