Attendance

We are working hard to improve attendance and punctuality in school because we know the impact good attendance has on your child’s personal, social, and academic achievements in education.  Please help support us in ensuring the best outcomes for the children of Stretton Handley.

Update to behaviour Policy

We have made some improvements to our behaviour system in school and moved from our ‘Good to be Green’ to a ‘ladder’ behaviour system. Our ‘Behaviour Ladder’ provides an effective way to promote positive behaviour in the classroom. It allows for recognition of pupils who are always ready to learn and supports those who need support focussing on their learning. It is a fair approach and ensures that pupils know the rules and behaviours expected in school regardless of what classroom they are in or who is teaching them. Consequences are clear and provide a restorative approach to enabling children to make choices which will help them achieve their potential in school.

Since trialling the new system in January, we have been very impressed with the children’s determination to move up the ladder every single day.
