I have been thinking about this since I went around someone's house last weekend and there were quite a few of "headteacher's awards" type certificates on the wall.
My dd goes to a different school, is in Yr 4 now and has never received anything similar. The last head left at the end of her reception year and there have been a succession of acting heads since, but a new permanent head has just started. I know they have done award schemes, where you get stars and when you get so many you get an award. They re-launched this last year but her teacher was disorganised/ineffective (and has now left the school) so I'm not sure if she implemented the scheme properly in her class.
I'm just wondering if it's normal to be in a school for four years and never get singled out for praise at an assembly? Her teachers always say she is bright and behaves well so I would have thought they could have found something positive to say in all that time. There are only about 200 kids in the school btw.
I'm thinking of bringing this up at the next parents evening, though her teacher is new to the school so may not know much about it. Or should I ask the head if I see him around? Or am I being paranoid?
