The Whitley Lodge Wonder League
At Whitley Lodge positive behaviour and thoughtful working with others is recognised as an essential element of high standards within the classroom and extended school community including the playground. As our recent Ofsted report stated, ‘Pupil behaviour is exemplary’ and we want to ensure that children are celebrated and rewarded for their excellent choices.
The Wonder League is designed to support and foster positive relationships through a strong sense of responsibility and community across school. It is also a key vehicle for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) curriculum, promoting an understanding and direct experience of democratic systems and procedures.
‘Wonder’ Definition
- a feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamiliar.
- a person or thing regarded as very good, remarkable, or effective.
Children are placed into one of five beach animal themed teams: Lobster (Red); Dolphin (Blue); Seal (Yellow); Seahorse (Green) and Starfish (Orange).
All siblings are placed in the same team supporting a sense of unity and togetherness between home and school life.

Wonder Award Special Certificate Assembly
Wonder Points, once awarded, cannot be taken away. There is a weekly class count and weekly winning team in each class. Every half term, there is a winning team and special prize for that team. Our excellent School Council support in collecting and counting points. The prize is a mixed age group, active afternoon which takes place in the last week of each half term.
Each member of the winning team also receives a special certificate to take home.
In addition to the daily distribution of Wonder Points, we also celebrate individual achievements by awarding two children from each class with a Wonder Award certificate, each week. Class teachers choose children who have displayed our key qualities to receive a special certificate in the weekly Wonder Award assembly.
Please see our school policies below for further information.
