At Parkfield we believe it's incredibly important to develop a child as a whole - personally and academically - so that they become lifelong learners and are ready for their next stage of education. Our approach to support each child's personal development is to focus on a particular skill each half term across the school. Although these skills are continually developed, the overview below indicates when we focus on a particular skill during the year.

The characteristics are also promoted across school: in assemblies, by pupil 'spotters' in each class looking to praise children showing a particular characteristic and rewarded with the regular awarding of House Dojos as part of our behaviour system.
Parkfield Character Award
Parkfield Character Award
Two pupils are awarded the Parkfield Character award each half-term for demonstrating the characteristic being focused upon. These are chosen from the selection of children nominated by all the staff.
The award is in memory of ex-Parkfielder Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington who was tragically killed in January 2017. When he was a pupil at Parkfield, Scott was as a great 'Character' that was full of life!
