Warden Hill Way Ambassadors

Awards for the Ambassadors of the Warden Hill Way

Governors at Warden Hill hold regular meetings and we hear all about what is going on in school. We also visit the school on a regular basis and see excellent practice.
The behaviour and attitudes of pupils are regularly discussed. The children all subscribe to the school’s values of belong, explore, succeed. Governors frequently hear about the Warden Hill Way, which makes our pupils stand out as children who are determined to behave well and be successful. At a recent meeting, governors decided to acknowledge this by holding a celebration for the best ambassadors of the Warden Hill Way. Teachers have been asked to select a child in their class who stands out in representing the Warden Hill Way. The two School Councils were included in promoting the event during assemblies. It took place on Wednesday 15 December. It gave the Governors a chance to find out more about pupils’ achievements.
