Relationships - Our Community Code


At Bucklebury, inspired by our mission statement and the Gospel of John, 

we aim to build community by showing ‘Best Bucklebury Behaviour’;




A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34

Classes:-

Hedgehog Class (EYFS, Y1)

[Squirrel Class - hibernation]

Woodpecker Class (Y2/3)

Fox Class (Y4)

Deer Class (Y5/6)


Houses:-

Sycamore – blue

Oak – green

Beech – red

Willow – yellow

Pupils may earn smilies for good work, good effort or other positive behaviour. One smiley equals 1 housepoint.

House points are totalled each week and house captains read the totals in celebration assembly on a Friday morning. A cup is presented to the house with the highest total at the end of each term.

The houses compete against each other at the annual sports day.

School Council

Our School Council has representatives from each year group within school and meets every two weeks. Class representatives are responsible for raising any class issues at School Council meetings, when appropriate.

The School Council has a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Press Officer and is overseen by Mrs Down. Year 6 representatives remain on the School Council for a year. All other representatives are re-elected each term. Pupils may only be a representative once in any year group.

Courageous Advocacy

The curriculum, collective worship and theme days are used to help pupils identify courageous advocates in our society locally, nationally and globally.
