STUDENT INFORMATION

 

OUR SCHOOL DAY

​

At Mayflower High School, we follow a five-period day with a mid-morning break and a lunch break. Mayflower operates on a two-week timetable: Week A and Week B. Reminders are always found on our school social media.

Assemblies are held every morning for separate year groups and cover topics such as keeping safe, standards and expectations, reflection, equality, freedom and prejudice, disability awareness, religious understanding and tolerance, sexual orientation and gender, class and diversity. We also have visiting speakers and student groups that lead our assemblies.

​

Students follow a pastoral programme within their tutor groups every morning when they are not in an assembly.

​

​

REWARDS

​

Every student has a student card which can be signed by any member of staff within our school community for demonstrating our core values outside the classroom. Once a student receives six signings, they are given a fast pass to use at the pods or the canteen.

Merits can be achieved both inside and outside the classroom for:

  • Our Core Values: e.g., helping others, being kind, being responsible, resilience.

  • Participation: e.g., extracurricular clubs.

  • Community: e.g., Duke of Edinburgh, Eco Club, Digital Leaders.

  • Work Ethic: rewarding your effort, attendance, punctuality, and being equipped for lessons.

Students receive certificates and badges for their merits in our termly Celebration Assemblies, where we celebrate our students' success.

  • Showing resilience

  • Overcoming a personal challenge

Winners receive £300 to spend on an aspect of school life they have contributed to.

The school is also part of the Leader Award, where staff are recognised for their contributions to our school and community.
