What we think about Rewards.Rewards must up hold a framework of

Respect and Fairness.Rewards must have meaning.They must underpin our school ethos, what

we stand for.They need to be accessible to all.Rewards should be used by all staff, in every

lessonRewards contribute hugely to moral,

motivation, self esteem and progress.Rewards are something that we build into

every aspect of our teaching and your learning.

member of staff to any student at any time.The criteria for the Achievement Award is below.

Student council input.The Student Council believed the student body would be

motivated by rewards vouchers such as:TopshopTopmanBootsBody ShopITunesSports DirectAmazonCinemaI will also be asking the School Council to look into the

possibility of getting some level of sponsorship from a local company eg Tesco or The Entertainer.

So as we develop this rewards system we could over a different type of motivation and rewards.

How to make the Rewards tangibleWhen a student reaches an Achievement Level they will

automatically be entered into the Rewards Raffle.The Rewards raffles will be held at the end of each and every half

term.Each year group will have an individual Rewards Raffle, run by

the DoL’s in their year group assemblies. If a student reaches two or more Achievement Levels over a half

term period they will be given two or more tickets.

Achievement Level One= One raffle ticket. Achievement Level Two = Two raffle tickets.

This means that ONE student from every year group will receive this extra reward per half term, as well as the certificates etc they will ordinarily receive.

The Rewards Raffle prize will be a £10 voucher of the students choice from the selection listed by the Student Council.

All done on SIMS.(OUR STUDENT DATA BASE)All Achievement Awards will be collated on SIMS.Green Slips will no longer be given out, instead all

Achievement Awards will be given on-line. Advantages. 1. Quicker, in fact it’s instant.2. Easier to collate.3. Easier to manage.4. Easier to track who is getting rewards, who is

giving rewards.5. You will be able to monitor how many awards

you have been awarded.6. You will receive your rewards/certificates

quicker.

GOOD LUCK
