Students at Victory have clear achievable expectations of behaviour in the class and the playground.  Parents may be advised if the school has concerns about a child's behaviour.

Children are encouraged to develop responsibility for themselves and their belongings.  Please encourage your child to be independent.

Children generally come to school with a positive attitude.  Our aim is to continue this by encouraging children to show care and concern for others, to do their best and to display acceptable manners.  Your support is vital!

Pupils are given stickers and merit awards, for class work, special efforts, good conduct, sportsmanship, responsibility and initiative.  There is a conscious effort by all staff to praise, guide and encourage pupils in all aspects of their schooling and positively reinforce acceptable behaviour.

Our school acknowledges that children may come to us with special needs or abilities.  We are committed to providing appropriate programmes to meet their needs.

We wish to report your child's progress and achievements to you. Parents are welcome to discuss their child's progress by contacting the teacher for a suitable time. Teachers will contact you if they have concerns.

Written reports are sent home four times each year. These show assessments, a sample of specific achievement objectives, skills and attitudes. Pupil profiles show samples of your child's work in a variety of curriculum areas. Oral interviews are also held.
