As well as providing children with a balanced, well-rounded curriculum, we also want to nurture our children to ensure they are better equipped for secondary school & beyond. At The Grove Academy, we have 5 Golden Rules that we want all our children to understand and apply throughout their time at school –this may be in the classroom, on the playground, whilst eating lunch or when they are learning. We celebrate and acknowledge occasions when children demonstrate one of these principles by awarding a house point. When a house point is awarded the children are given a sticker and staff: will explicitly mention one of the rules; will explain what they have noticed; and explain why they are receiving the house point. As a result, we aim to motivate our pupils to demonstrate these values in every aspect of their school life by acknowledging and modelling these 5 values at every opportunity.
