We have many reward systems in place at Forestdale Primary to motivate and praise our children. Our children are not only rewarded for their own personal academic achievement but also for demonstrating ethical and moral behaviour and attitudes.

House Points

• Children have been assigned to a house (green rabbits, orange foxes, blue badgers, red squirrels and yellow hedgehogs).
• House Points are individual rewards for exceptional behaviour or attitudes.
• Children are rewarded with a coloured token.
• At the end of each term, the house with the most token wins extra playtime.
• The houses also compete against one another on Sports Day.
• Children can wear their house colour t-shirt for P.E. all through the year.
