Have you won a Game Pass?
In the PLZ we are very proud to say that this year we have implemented a reward system and our students have learnt to come and check whether they have been nominated:
At Ks 3 every week, 4/5 students per year are offered a Game Pass for doing their best in lessons, during break and lunch; If they win a game pass, instead of going to form time, on Friday, they are allowed to play games on the laptops as a recognition and a celebration of their hard work.

The aim of the project was for the students to explore their interests and for us all to get to know each other, developing social skills and to build confidence. Students started by painting a watercolour wash background, they then researched their interests in magazines and online. They were photographed in an expressive pose and then they glued their interests in situ around their photograph. At the end of the activity there is a chance for the boys to present their work - then the boys invite peers to offer constructive criticism. The boys all came up to present and benefitted from the positive feedback received from their peers.

Watch his speech: Dean Beadle "Being Dean: my autistic life" Speech Excerpt (2011) - YouTube
"We should endeavour to work with autism, not against it. Together, we should persevere to develop the strategies and techniques that will make the world a more positive and manageable place for people on the spectrum. I am not saying that life will be a bed of roses; I know that there will always be issues and problems that will make my life a struggle, but I take courage in the knowledge that I will get through them by formulating strategies and coping mechanisms."
