Good to be Green

Good to be Green - Our positive behaviour strategy 

Information for parents/carers

At Wolsey House Primary School we aim to provide a happy atmosphere in which staff and parents/carers work together for the welfare of the children. We expect our children to behave well and take responsibility for their actions. We recognise that parents/carers should be fully informed about their child’s behaviour and every effort is made to ensure that there is effective communication between home and school. 

IT’S GOOD TO BE GREEN

We use the Good to be Green behaviour reward system. In each class from Years 1 to 6 there is a Good to be Green wall chart. Every child has a green card, showing that they are “Good to be Green”. At the start of every day, every child will be green. During the day, children who follow the school and class rules stay on a green card.  

However, children who make the wrong choices and don’t follow the rules will be given a yellow Warning card. If they continue to make the wrong choices they will be given a red Consequence card. However, they may choose to correct their behaviour, make the right choices and go back to green. At the end of the day any child who is still on green gets a house point on their chart.

  

 

 

Every class has a “Good to be Green” housepoint chart. Children will automatically receive a housepoint for:

• Being on Green at the end of the day
• Inclusion in the Golden Book
• Being at school every day on time in one week
• Wearing the correct school uniform all week

Wolsey Warehouse tokens.

Warehouse tokens are awarded to a child for displaying, good behaviour, producing work to the best of their ability, displaying our school values and for having 100% attendance each school week . Each child is allocated a container, which acts as a wallet. Tickets are cumulative and, on the Friday, at the end of each half-term, all children enjoy visiting the Wolsey Warehouse with their class teacher to choose a reward. The year group with the best attendance enters the warehouse first.The Wolsey Warehouse is stocked with a variety of items for children to choose from. The School Council seek children’s input into what their peers would like the Wolsey Warehouse to stock. This system is designed for children to receive a reward approximately once every half-term and so teachers must take responsibility for ensuring that the children in their class earn tokens at a rate to enable this to happen, other than in extreme cases. A Warehouse token has the value of one and no other value should be assigned to the token. All members of staff are able to give out Wolsey Warehouse tokens to children if they are demonstrating the school values. This supports positive behaviour throughout the school day.

 

GOLDEN TIME

 

Golden Time is a reward for those children who respect and follow our school rules.

Golden Time takes place once a week during an afternoon session and gives each class an opportunity to enjoy a wide range of activities together.

Children who have received Warning cards during the week will miss 5 minutes of their Golden Time within their classroom.

 

If you have any questions regarding any of this information, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s class teacher.

Thank you for your support.
