Every Friday,the Headteacher reads from the Golden Book(large book covered in shiny gold paper!) which names all the children who have done something special that week as identified by their teacher It might be an academic achievement but is more likely to be about trying hard, being helpful or kind to others.Names are read out in addition to the special contribution made by that child and the child stands up. Everyone claps.The children love to be mentioned in the book and it is a real boost to their confidence, especially those with Dyslexia. I like the fact that it is not just about'work' but recognises all aspects of being in a community.
