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:

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.

Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers

St. Thomas’ Primary are collecting the Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers.  Please remember to donate all your vouchers by 30th June.

How to get involved

It’s easy to collect vouchers for Active Kids 2017. Simply shop in Sainsbury’s stores or online and you will earn Active Kids vouchers on your shopping.

Ways to collect:

1. Sainsbury’s Local
In Sainsbury’s Local stores you’ll get one voucher for every £5 you spend.

2. Sainsbury’s Supermarkets
Every time you shop at a Sainsbury’s Supermarket you’ll be given one voucher for every £10 you spend at the till.

3. Online
You’ll still receive the equivalent of one voucher for every £10 you spend. But they’ll all be printed on one piece of paper up to the maximum value of 50 vouchers – so make sure you keep it safe.
