At Sawtry Junior Academy, the Stars are the bedrock of our values. Children strive to develop the qualities outlined above and their actions are rewarded with star awards. There is a section in every child’s learning log for recording the childrens’ actions which results in the signing off of a specific star. There is a copy below that can also be downloaded for reference and all children have their own copy in their learning logs.
