Character - Proud

‘Feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one’s own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.’

If students are Proud of their achievements, they will have a thirst and an energy to achieve more – so this is an important quality to develop here at Freddies. We also want students to feel that this is their school and they belong here. Key information on ‘being proud’ is included below.

Proud

This can be defined as:

Feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one’s own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated

What does being proud mean?

When you are proud, you are feeling pride, or satisfaction with yourself. The word proud can also mean too much of this feeling––sometimes saying someone is proud is the same as saying they’re arrogant. This is not how we perceive feelings of pride and being proud at Freddies – we see this as a positive quality which leads to students potentially working even harder. It’s also possible to feel proud of someone else.

Is proud a positive word?

Proud implies sensitiveness, lofty self-respect, or jealous preservation of one’s dignity, station, and the like. It may refer to an affectionate admiration of or a justifiable pride concerning someone else: proud of his son.

How do you use the word proud?

Proud sentence examples:

At school right now hundreds of students are collecting rewards for their excellent work. Many are now wearing BADGES for achieving 100/150 and 200 rewards. They are PROUD of their achievements. Well done to all students who are achieving high numbers of rewards.

Week beginning 9th May we are promoting our SUMMER END OF TERM TRIPS. We want students to feel that sense of pride as they achieve the criteria to attend these trips.

How Yondr Works

Frequently Asked Questions

We want our students to be engaged in their learning. A child at high school should not really have a reason to contact a parent during the day; however, if there is a genuine reason e.g. they have forgotten their packed lunch, a phone call can be made home from the school office. If a parent needs to contact their child in an emergency, they should contact the school office. If you need to contact your child during the school day, contact the main office on 01942 883796.

In case of a school emergency, we direct our students to safety first, following our school emergency procedures.

 

Students are in possession of their phone - in their Yondr pouch - for the entire school day. We will advise students to store the pouch safely in their school bag or blazer pockets.

If a student damages their Pouch or is caught on their phone, we will confiscate the phone and issue a sanction which is likely to be a suspension.

Note: Damage consists of any signs that the physical integrity of the pouch has been compromised, whether intentional or unintentional, as determined by the school or Yondr staff.

Damaged pouches will be charged to parents at a cost of £20.

They will be searched and wanded with a handheld scanner by a member of SLT. If they are found to have their phone on their person they will be expected to place it in their pouch. Refusal will be met with suspension.

If a student forgets their Pouch, their phone will be confiscated.

As per our previous mobile phone policy;

  • Confiscated phones will be taken to reception where the phone will be secured in the school safe.
  • Parents will be alerted to the phone confiscation via the school office.

Parents will have the option to collect the phone at the end of the day. If parents do not collect the phone, the phone will remain in school until the end of the week or until the student has their pouch.

In Yondr’s experience, this almost never happens. All students funnel past the unlocking stations at the exits, they want their phones back and don’t forget to unlock their pouches. If they do arrive home with a phone in a pouch, they can either come back to school to unlock it, or have a phone free evening!

The unlocking process is quick and takes under a second per student. 

As a privilege, Year 11 will be able to unlock their phones as they go off site at lunchtime; however, they will be expected to put their phones back into their pouches when they return to school for period 5.

Yes. There is an adapted version of the pouch which uses a Velcro fastener instead of a magnetic lock. This means the student still follows the policy, but the adapted pouch gives them easy access to their phone when required. If the student abuses this, they will face a sanction. We are already aware of these students.
