Rewards & Sanctions
Rewards
Every student at Prince Henry’s is allocated to one of five Houses, initially based upon their Tutor Group, and the House system underpins the school’s rewards programme. Each House has an elected Sixth Form House Leader, and an elected House Ambassador representing each year group. Each of these representatives sit on the House Council, which meets regularly with senior members of staff. A range of inter-house sporting and other competitions are held during the course of the school year.
The Houses are:
Burlingham: Named after Lt Col Richard Burlingham. Head of House – Mr Dingley. Tutor Groups B, G and some of Z
Deacle: Named after John Deacle. Head of House – Miss Howe. Tutor Groups C, D and some of Z
Holland: Named after Rev F W Holland. Head of House – Miss Smedley. Tutor Groups H, O and some of Z
Lichfield: Named after Abbot Clement Lichfield. Head of House – Mr Bornoff. Tutor Groups F, L and some of Z
Workman: Named after Cllr Henry Workman. Head of House – Miss Robinson. Tutor Groups M, W and some of Z
The Rewards programme is based upon House points, which may be awarded for a piece of work or a lesson activity. House points are recorded and monitored within students’ planners, with escalating levels of recognition:
60 House Points : Bronze Award
120 House Points : Silver Award
180 House Points : Gold Award
240 House Points : House Award
300 House Points : Prince Henry’s High School Special Recognition Award
In addition, termly Rewards Assemblies are held for each year group, and the Headteacher hosts regular Rewards Tea Parties for individual year groups, which also are attended by members of the Senior Leadership and Year Teams.

Sanctions for Poor Behaviour (including Classroom Warning System)
Consequences entail responsibility and accountability. They are related to the behaviour of the student and not the student as a human being, they will be reasonable in relation to the offence and will allow the student to maintain their respect. However, WE BELIEVE THAT BY REGULARLY DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE HIGH STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOUR THE GREAT MAJORITY ACHIEVE, WE ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ETHOS TO WHICH ALL CAN CONTRIBUTE AND THAT ENCOURAGING GOOD BEHAVIOUR IS IN THE LONG TERM MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN CASTIGATING BAD BEHAVIOUR.
Our expectations are made clear to students and parents/carers via visits to Middle Schools by our staff, visits to Prince Henry’s by Year 8 Middle School students, by the Home School Agreement and by the Prospectus. They are reinforced regularly in school assemblies, by form tutors and in lessons.
In all lessons a Warning System will operate:
WARNING 1
A verbal warning to a student who is behaving inappropriately, this includes NOT completing work.
WARNING 2
A second verbal warning.
WARNING 3
An appropriate teacher sanction, with a referral to Head of Department and Head of Year.
WARNING 4
Referral to the Head of Department and immediate removal from the lesson. A letter will be sent home and an appropriate sanction instituted by the Head of Department.
For serious breaches of the Behaviour Policy, the school may decide to apply a higher level of warning from the outset or, a suspension or permanent exclusion.
The Student Planner plays a key role in communicating with home; students must therefore bring it to all lessons. Regularly failing to do so will result in a sanction.
