Reward System

Why do we have a Reward System

  • To reward the students who reflect the school ethos and are active citizens in our community. (See ‘On Route to Success - The College Vision’)
  • To avoid rewards being given at random - so students know exactly how to get them.
  • To create a culture of success where the benefits are greater for positive contributions than negative.
  • To create a sense of corporate responsibility and pride so that students understand the effects of their actions.
  • To let tutors know about all the fantastic things their tutees are doing.

How do students gain rewards

How is all this recorded?

  • Each student as a record sheet which is filled out between the tutor and the student, this is in the Student Organiser and online for tutors
  • Results are collated every term by the Lead Teacher for Personal Development to create a 'Premier League' and identify top Tutor groups
  • End of the year results are collated and prizes presented at Celebration Evenings and Year Assemblies
  • The total points gained by students enables them to pass the Reward Scheme or pass with Distinction
