Swanshurst Values

We have a set of Swanshurst Values which are at the heart of all we do. We aim to develop learners who are:

  • Aspirational

  • Resilient

  • Reflective

  • Creative

  • Confident Communicators

  • Kind & Respectful

  • Independent

We also ensure our students understand the 'fundamental British values' of

  • democracy.
  • the rule of law.
  • individual liberty.
  • mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

Rewards

Recognition Points are be based on Swanshurst Values and given to all pupils who perform above and beyond what is expected of them. Attendance rewards are still given on a weekly basis for 100% attendance per week.

Rewards Ladder

Pupil Pledge

Pupil Pledge linked to Swanshurst Values. All pupils in each year have a list of 30 activities which gives opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests extending pupils beyond the academic.

Outstanding Attendance

Outstanding attendance/behaviour is key to academic success and as a school we recognise outstanding attendance through the 100% attendance club initiatives; students are recognised for this formally in an end of year celebration, they are presented with a badge and certificate and students also enjoy a tea party which takes place at the end of the year. Outstanding attendance is also recognised via:

  • Queue jump pass each term for the top form each week
  • Pizza each term for the top attendees and most improved form
  • Half termly attendance promotions

Additional Head of Year Recognition

Heads of Year regularly send postcards home in recognition of individual successes. Each Head of Year runs their own special reward initiative, for example we currently have a VIP reward. This is where students are nominated by their teacher and the most deserving, as determined by their form tutor, gets the award.
