We don't believe there should be a learning based reward system at Brimington Junior School as not all the children have the same educational abilities. This is leaving the children that struggle or find their work hard, walking around with a label in the form of a coloured band.
As a parent your child may be coping well with the learners code but please take the time to consider the children that have little chance of advancing up the learners code.
Golden time was a behaviour based rewards system that rewarded the children at the end of each week for good behaviour. The children got to choose an activity to engage in such as wood craft, baking, sewing , free play, kenex, den building and arts & craft etc.
Please only sign once per child currently in school
E.g. If you have 2 children you may put down 2 signatures....these must be by a different parent/guardian each time as the petition will only allow one signature per email or Facebook account.
Please put the name, year and class of your child in the comments box so that we can verify that you have a child in school.
I've have been asked to add Mary Swanwick School to the petition so they can petition against the bands at their school too!

The momentum is incredible. It is clear that so many families want these bands gone.

We think that the band system seems extremely unfair. Our son wants to try his best and be a good lad but often comes home upset and feeling very down if he is unsuccessful in gaining the next band like his friends. He said he felt quite segregated from his friends because of the colour of his band. We all agree to the school uniform because it stops any child being different and prevents bullying but we are making the children different by banding them. Also is this a learning band or behaviour band it's quite unclear because they gain them by good work and can loose them for bad behaviour (extremely confusing) We do not agree with the band system.
Mary Swanwick parent. My kids haven't had issues with the bands but I know some kids have. I've seen kids in tears over these, frightened about losing them. Using fear to get results is wrong.

I don't agree with the banding system at all it shows who is doing well and who is not

I think the band system is a joke kids progress at different levels an it's not right to single out the poor kids that can't help having behaviour or disability problems

The coloured band system seperates the children, rather than teaching them that good behaviour is better supported by the school. Manners, kindness and thoughtful behaviour towards others should be rewarded, not who is better than who.
