Achievements

Recognising and celebrating achievements at Braemar School

Within Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) achievement covers learning within curricular areas and interdisciplinary learning, but we also emphasise children’s achievements in the widest sense, focusing on the skills they need for learning, life and work. Children acquire these skills in all sorts of ways, both in and out of school.

Here at Braemar School, we are aware of how important it is to recognise and support the children’s achievements. We want our children to value and be proud of what they learn outside the classroom, as well as in it. We recognise and celebrate these achievements in many ways including in assembly, on wall displays, posting on Twitter, sharing news on the school blog etc.

 Wider Achievement

Wider achievement means everything that children learn from hobbies, interests, sports, fundraising and so on. It is not always about going to a club, it is about whatever opportunities you can give them, whether it’s teaching them to ride a bike or to make a pot of soup. It’s about your child learning something new and gaining confidence and a sense of satisfaction.

Through activities your child is involved in, they are developing important skills that can be of real value to them as they grow up, such as getting on with other people, being helpful, respectful, adaptable and open to new ideas, being creative and taking responsibility.

How can you help us?

Often children share their out of school achievements with us when they come into class, but sometimes we don’t get to hear about them. You can help us to recognise and celebrate their achievements in the following ways:

It is always great to get a photo that represents your child’s achievement so that we can display it in school. Please email any photographs to school with the subject Wider Achievement. You can also click on the link below to provide information about your child’s achievements outside of school.
