At Lockwood Primary Schoolall our children from Reception to Year 6 take part in our Aspire Awards scheme. Every child earns Aspire points for their behaviour, attitude and effort at school and for demonstrating our values of happiness and learning. Any adult in school from teachers to office staff, lunchtime supervisors to the site manger can award Aspire Points. For every 25 points children recieve, they are awarded an Aspire Award certificate in assembly.
Each Aspire Award is based on a person who has shown the qualities we want to develop in our children. From the passion of naturalist Steve Backshall to the skill of local Lioness Beth Mead, to the creativity of storytellers, Joseph Coelho and Tola Okogwu, these are people we want our children to aspire to.
The inspirational people we use on our Aspire Awards are chosen in many different ways. Some are chosen by staff, some by the School or Eco Council, some are voted for by the children in assemblies and some are put forward by children themselves as people with qualities they admire.
