At Wigton Moor pupils are given a team which they remain part of until they leave us in Year 6.  Throughout school, they have the opportunity to compete against the other teams.  Adults in school give pupils team points when they believe they have gone above and beyond expectations or demonstrated one of the 4Cs particularly well.
