Successes and Achievements

Our House System

Our house system gives everyone in our Williamwood community an identity, purpose and an opportunity to develop relationships whilst upholding our school values. The House system provides opportunities for all of our young people to engage in leadership, collaboration and responsibility through competition and activities across all curricular areas.

Overall quality of learners’ achievement

It is our aim to recognise and value the personal achievements of all learners across the 4 capacities within Curriculum for Excellence: successful learners, effective contributors, responsible citizens and confident individuals.

In doing this we aim to:

  • Promote a positive ethos of effort and achievement in the school;
  • Reward all who achieve success in a range of skillsets;
  • Recognise and reward the contribution made by staff and learners to the school and the wider Williamwood community;
  • Recognise and reward learner’ improvements and progress both in school and out.

A variety of methods of rewarding achievement exist at Williamwood High School and these are currently:

  • Verbal Praise
  • Stickers
  • Praise Postcards
  • Positive phone calls home
  • Pupil of the block/month
  • Recognition on School X Account/Website Page
  • Public display of high quality work
  • Acknowledgement through Assemblies
  • Certificate/Awards at our Annual Awards Ceremony
  • House points/rewards
