CHILDREN at Peel Brow School in Ramsbottom were rewarded for their behaviour with an end-of-term party.

During the term the children can earn tower tokens for displaying gfood behaviour, such as opening a door for someone else or letting a friend join in a game they are playing.

At the end of term the children can trade in their tokens for a treat.

Last term the children traded in their tokens for a circus skills session where they learnt how to juggle and ride unicycles.

Year one teacher Claire Gill said: “The children all try really hard to earn Tower Tokens.

“They are so lovely and display good manners all of the time.”

After receiving a good Ofsted report recently, an improvement from their last two inspections, the school was in a celebratory mood and the children were given a special end-of-term treat with a 25ft bouncy slide.

Danny Mellor, headteacher, said pupils’ behaviour was first class.

He said: “We have a brilliant behaviour policy in place at school.

“It is extremely positive and the children respond well to it.

“It was so good to see this recognised in our latest Ofsted report in July 2016 which graded the school good in all areas.”

The latest Ofsted report made reference to the pupils’ behaviour.

It stated: “Behaviour of the pupils is good.

“Behaviour is managed well, and behaviour has improved and is good as staff make sure activities are interesting and motivate pupils to learn well.”

The latest report was an improvement and it marked a change from the last two reports which concluded the school “required improvement.”

Following the previous inspection, school leaders tackled the changes needed to make rapid improvements.

The new report said: “Records show that progress has accelerated over time, particularly in writing.

“All pupils currently in the school are achieving well.

“This includes pupils who have special educational needs or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged.

“Rigorous staff performance management targets and well-focused professional development have successfully raised the quality of the teaching to a ‘good’ rating.”
