School Ethos

Our School is committed to the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We promise:

To accept and support all children regardless of their race, gender, beliefs and abilities.
To encourage and support, in contributing positively to both the school and the wider community.
To actively develop a school environment where all school members can feel safe and secure
To help pupils care for and empathise with other people.
To encourage pupils to treat others as they would like to be treated.
To aid the development of all children, intellectually and socially into mature independent citizens.

The ethos is re-examined by the pupils and staff each Autumn term.

‘We are really pleased with how our child has settled in at Crowmoor. A big part of this is down to his day to day life at ‘Crowmoor’. He loves coming to school and has made great friends. Thank you for all of your hard work!’

Behaviour

Our Golden Rules

Be ready
Be respectful
Be safe

We place great emphasis upon good behaviour both in and out of school. Children are encouraged to develop self-discipline, independence and mutual respect. We encourage positive behaviour by frequent praise and reward, but sanctions are available if this approach is not successful. We rely on parents/carers to support us with regard to enforcing our expectations and expect them to deliver their commitments in the home/school agreement.

House System

Every child on arrival at Crowmoor is placed into one of four Houses: Haughmond, Grinsall, Wrekin and Cardoc. During the year the Houses will compete in various ways, from gaining reward points given as raffle tickets for positive work or behaviour and through intra-School Sports events.These points are totaled each week in the Friday Rewards Assembly and the winning house receives a cinema experience, with the mandatory popcorn and juice at the end of each term. Every pupil that gains a raffle ticket is entered into a weekly draw.
