Minutes
Actions to be taken
Mrs. Kinsey told Pupil Leadership about the plans to change the
Team Point system. It will probably be introduced from January
2015 as there was a lot to be decided and the team needed to get
the views of their peers. Class Council meetings would need to be
held to hear ideas.
The new system will make Team Points more difficult to come by.
When they are given out it will be recorded by a member of staff.
The points will also be put into a container which will be collected on
a Friday morning and counted by the School Captains. Point cards
might be different colours for each house and children put their
names on them. Awards will be given out on a Monday morning for
the whole house. At half term the person who has earned the most
points will receive a shield/cup.
Each year the children will start with zero points.
The prizes will be better as more points are earned.
Gold stars will be awarded.
Milestones of 10, 20, 30 points etc.
Mrs. Kinsey said that these were just some of the ideas she had
thought of but would see what suggestions came back from the

Class Meetings.
A member of the Team asked what would happen with the Tam
Points that children have at the moment. Mrs. Kinsey and Mrs.
Jones thought that although not every child would receive a
certificate those who were within 5 points of their next certificate
would still receive it. It was explained that there needed to be a
cut off point before starting the new system.
Items discussed:
The Team were asked how Team Points were currently awarded
within their Year Groups:
Good Behavior
Good Maths/Literacy work
Being polite
First table to be ready at the end of the lesson
Tidy tables
Being honest
Mrs. Kinsey asked whether these reasons are part of Good to be
Green and following the Golden Rules. Pupil Leadership agreed that
some of them were. A comment was made that Team Points were
given for opening a door or saying please and thank you. Mrs. Kinsey
wondered if those things should be part of what we do within school
each day.
The Team were asked if sometimes points were too easy to obtain.
Some of the Team thought they were not always given to the
children who ‘always do the right thing’.
Some children put extra points on their card.
Children who had yellow cards for Team Points.
Some of the Team thought that this was unfair.

Mrs. Kinsey said that she would like Team Points to be more
difficult to earn and wanted suggestions for how this could be
achieved.
Pupil Leadership suggested that perhaps we would have Inter-House
quizzes. They thought that this would be good for competition.
