Our new Year 7 students continue to really excel at the school and their Main School Assembly on Tuesday led by Senior Pastoral Manager Mrs Smith was another very positive moment in time for them. Their behaviour was impeccable and they listened really well to the key messages she gave. She reminded them of our 3Rs of Respect, Responsibility and Relationships and explained how these values feed into our new Behaviour Curriculum BMS READY.

In lessons we expect students to be ready with all their equipment, in perfect uniform and willing to actively engage with their learning. When the teacher or another student talks we all keep our ‘eyes on the speaker’ and follow the ‘One Voice’ rule. If the teacher or Learning Assistant gives an instruction we are expected to listen carefully and respond at the first time of asking; as Mrs Smith explained, all of this keeps the learning flowing well and doesn’t allow for any time-wasting and more progress can be made by all students.

At the end of the assembly Assistant Headteacher Mr MItman told the Year 7 students that they had already earned over 2500 reward points since the start of the academic year (more than any other year group in the school) and that the ratio  of reward points to C points was 40:1 indicating, clearly that the vast majority of them are absolutely BMS READY and are excelling at Bushey Meads!
