MANGOTSFIELD School has announced the first winners of its new award scheme.
Year 8 pupils Polly Carver and Ryan McLeod of Chase house and Cheick-Hamala Aidara of Pomphrey house, and Year 7s Hattie Watts of Rodway house and Alfie Dibble of Siston house, won the school’s inaugural Gold Awards.
Through the school year points are awarded by the staff for “positive learning and behaviour”, with students achieving bronze and silver awards as their total rises, with gold – and a place at the front of the lunch queue – given for 500 points.
A school spokesperson said: “The award embraces our four values of Love Learning, Respect, Challenge and Community.
“We are incredibly proud of our winners and their dedication this year. They have done the right thing every day, and been rewarded for it.”
During May 100 students took part in the One Mile Walk around the school track as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
Other activities to promote positive mental health included weekly sessions focusing on well-being, a yoga session run by head teacher Hetty Blackmore and a visit from counselling and support charity Off The Record.
