Behaviour and rewards - an overview
Behaviour and rewards
To ‘be the best’, all students and staff must live and breathe The Clapham Character. We expect students to exemplify this by modelling excellent behaviour which is a foundation stone of personal and collective success. Our behaviour for learning policy can be accessed by clicking here.
Below is a summary of our expectations in terms of your behaviour and attitudes.
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because, without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” Maya Angelou |
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Helen Keller
|
“Commitment is an act, not a word.” Jean-Paul Sartre
|
Courage – so that I will: |
Confidence – so that I will: |
Commitment – so that I will: |
|
|
|
Our rules for bringing The Clapham Character to life.
|
As a student, I: |
Be committed and ready to learn/teach |
|
Be confident enough to take responsibility |
|
Have the courage to stand up for the importance of respect |
|
Praise, recognition and rewards always come first, with the focus on going above and beyond.
Rewards come from going above and beyond – a reflection of going the ‘extra mile’ or a cumulation of 100% effort, dedication and hard work sustained over time, that leads to the highest possible achievements.
