Whilst the bronze, silver and gold badges are linked to behaviour, merits are awarded for outstanding effort & achievement in all areas of the curriculum—this could be maths, writing, P.E., computing, artwork etc. When a child has earned 25 merits, they are awarded with a green merit badge. Once a child has received their green badge, they can work towards their purple badge (50 merits), yellow badge (75 merits) and red badge (100 merits.)

The children keep these badges - they do not need to be handed back at the end of the year and will be replaced free of charge.

Congratulations to this child - his attitude towards their own learning is superb. We are really proud of him.
