CARE Values Table

CARE Values

Our CARE principles and values guide our whole communities’ daily actions and choices; everyone benefits and each individual will thrive at Wadebridge School:

C	Community & Cooperation
	We add value and raise the standards within our school and the wider community. We work together relentlessly so that everyone feels heard, understood and connected.
A	Ambition & Achievement
	We have the highest aspirations and ambitions for ourselves and for each other. We aim for nothing less than the most we are capable of giving.
R	Respect & Responsibility
	We always treat each other with dignity, compassion and respect. Our high standards mean we support each other and make well-informed decisions even when nobody is watching.
E	Endeavour & Enjoyment
	We cultivate a positive growth mindset by championing endeavour and enjoyment. We ensure constant engagement through our curriculum that enables everyone to flourish.

Rewards

1. A school ethos of recognition and encouragement is central to the promotion of desirable behaviour. Rewards are an integral part of achieving this.

2. Rewards have a motivational role in helping students to realise that desirable behaviour, self- awareness and responsibility to self and others is valued, and are clearly defined in the related procedures.

3. Integral to the system of rewards is an emphasis on praise and recognition, both informal and formal, to individuals and groups.

4. Students are issued with a CARE Card at the start of each term and students will work through the various levels to attain the next card, through allocation of Class Chart Positives and teacher stamps during the school day.

5. Teachers are issued with a stamp to mark a student’s CARE card. Teachers must issue a minimum of 4 positive Class Chart Points each lesson and stamps, however this number may vary depending on the size of the class.

6. When a CARE card is completed, a student must present it to their Year Team and they will receive their reward and public recognition in the Wadebridge Welcome. The Year Team will record the CARE Card achieved on Class Charts for parents/carers to be made aware and celebrate.

8. Each Year Team will hold an end of Half Term Celebration Assembly. During the Celebration Assemblies, students are awarded certificates and recognition which may include achievement and effort in subjects, attendance and overall attitude. The collected CARE cards may be used as a ‘lucky dip’ to further reward students if they are selected at random.
