At Burton Green we believe that every child is a special person, has many talents and should recognise these and be proud of them. Children are awarded a range of certificates throughout the school year to recognise academic achievement, effort, behaviour and caring for others. We wish to celebrate their achievements with them and their parents. Parents are invited to an achievement assembly held every Friday morning from 9.05 until 9.30am. 

Foundation Stage: Stickers for academic achievement, effort, behaviour and caring for others

Key Stages 1 & 2: Children are placed into a 'house' SAPPHIRE, AMBER, EMERALD or RUBY.
They receive house points through the week that lead towards bronze, silver, and gold certificates. A weekly total for each house is also collected in the celebration assembly.

Value Certificates:  Each class teacher and the Head Teacher, on a weekly basis, nominate up to 3 children for a Value certificate which is also awarded in the achievement assembly. To be nominated for this award, children must demonstrate one of the values of Burton Green Academy - Value Yourself, Value Others, Value the Environment

Reading: From Year 2 to Year 6, the Reading Challenge is linked to the reading of school chosen texts. Children can become ‘Super Cool’, ‘Amazingly Wicked’ or ‘Mind Blowingly Brilliant.’ Once they are ‘Mind Blowingly Brilliant’ children move to the ‘Mission Impossible'.

Handwriting (Damson and Oak): The transition from the correct formation of letters to fluent joined up handwriting is rewarded with certificates, a Stabilo pen and a fountain pen, as children move through the school.

Class Rewards: In addition to the rewards we celebrate as a school, each class teacher has individual reward systems for their pupils e.g. Teacher Mail.
