Pledges

The RESPECT Curriculum also incorporates a three tier ‘Pledge’ system. Pledges are actions taken by individuals or groups that contribute to wider society under each of the curriculum drivers. Each class has their own ‘Shield’ and as they complete pledges, they are given pieces of their shield with the aim of completing them each year. Individuals can also achieve their own shields by completing the individual pledges as listed below. Those children who complete all pledges are rewarded at a special graduation at the end of year.

The academy also recogises the important role that it plays within the community and society and as such commits to the same ethos of carrying out pledges which contribute to wider society. The academy’s pledges for the current year can also be found below.
