Every month, the children are rewarded with a specific token

each time they demonstrate the value for that month e.g.
Courage silver bells. The tokens are collected in a token
bucket. At the end of the month the tokens are tipped into
the token tower, where all the values earned for the year
are displayed. If children demonstrate a value which has
already been specifically taught that academic year, then the
children will also earn additional tokens which, are also put
into the token bucket and then into the token tower. The
more the children demonstrate their values the more tokens
they earn.

PAGET PRIMARY
SCHOOL

Values Based Education

Pocket Practice
A Guide for Parents

Paget Primary is a Values School. It is our Values that

determine our thinking and behaviour. Through a Valuesbased Education, a positive culture for teaching and
learning is created which is based upon valuing ourselves,
each other and the environment. Our School Values support
the development of the whole child.

A Gui for Parents

The ethos of our school is built on a foundation of 22 core

Values which are addressed directly through lessons,
assemblies and across the whole curriculum. Each month we
focus on a particular Value. We learn to understand what
the Values looks like and how we can demonstrate the
Value, in the way we behave, in our attitude towards each
other and in our learning. Parents are encouraged to
develop the monthly Value at home through our newsletter.
Children are awarded a certificate each week in our special
assembly for demonstrating the Value of the month.
Parents can nominate their own child for a Values class
token. This is done by completing the form which is
obtainable from the front office. In addition there is a
copy attached each month to the school newsletter and on
the schools website which can be completed and
electronically sent in to school. Alternatively, parents can
email school at enquiry@paget.bham.sch.uk . Parents will
need to state how their child has demonstrated using the
Value of the Month.
Parents are invited to join the Paget Twitter account and
tweet about their child using their values. Please include a
photograph where possible.
