BMS Commendations
At Berwick Middle School, all pupils are set the target of achieving all 3 BMS Commendation Badges by the end of Year 8.
The BMS Commendations are:
The aims of our Commendation programme are:
To mould well-rounded pupils who are successful in every aspect of school life
To reward and acknowledge pupils who represent our school values both in school and in the local community
To recognise those pupils who dedicate their own time to improving school life or the local community
To encourage pupils to try new things and stretch their boundaries
To encourage pupils to make every minute count and ti seize opportunities which come their way
Commendations can be awarded by any member of staff and once a pupil has achieved 15 Commendations in any one category, they are then awarded a certificate and a badge to wear for the rest of their BMS career. If a pupil achieves 50 Commendations in any one category, they will then be awarded a Platinum Commendation certificate.
