The Gem Project
How much do you sparkle?
Each term we focus on a specific 'Learning Power' which helps pupils to develop their attitude to learning, concentration, social skill, independence and collaborative skill. The powers help the pupils to become better performers and help to provide 'life long skills' that will also help them in everyday situations outside of the school environment.
Gems are awarded to pupils when they display learning powers. Each week, totals of Gems collected in each class are counted and displayed in the hall and on our website then linked to our school reward system.
The following table shows the learning power focus for each half term:
