Recognising Achievement

Gaining recognition for the wide range of achievements can increase pupil confidence, raise their aspirations, improve motivation for learning and keep them engaged in education. It is important that we recognise and celebrate achievements in all contexts for learning, through:

• the ethos and life of the school as a community
• curriculum areas and subjects
• interdisciplinary learning
• opportunities for personal achievement.

To help us gather this information on pupils’ personal achievements, I would ask you to follow the link below and provide the information required:

https://getinvolved.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/education/copy-of-pupil-achievements-2

This link will remain live throughout session 2017-18. You can add achievements as often as required by entering your child’s name, class and details of their achievement. We then track each child’s participation in clubs and achievements both within and outwith school.
