Vivo Miles
• Unique online rewards system for schools, like Nectar points
• Teachers award electronic points (called “Vivos”) to students for good work, effort etc. via the website, mobile app or SIMS
• Students redeem their Vivos in an online store, save them or donate them to charity
• 250 schools to date nationwide
• Bett Award Winner “Leadership and Management Category” 2010
“ The Vivo rewards system has replaced our out-dated sticker-based system so completely that all school rewards are now handled through the Vivo site.
The speed with which students, parents and staff have engaged with the system has been astonishing.
Every stakeholder has thought it a great idea from the moment they were first introduced. Vivo have tapped into something that kids want, and found a way to make it easy for staff to use as positive reinforcement leverage”.
