Dear Mrs Dyer
We are the Better Behaviour, Better Learning group from Nethermains Primary School. We are looking for some advice. Could you please tell us the ways that you encourage your pupils to behave better and follow the Golden Rules, such as Golden Time, Dojo Points, Stickers and certificates. These examples are ideas we already have so could you please give us some new ideas.
Yours sincerely
The Nethermains Better Behaviour Better learning Group.
