Rewards

As a whole school community it is important that we recognise hard work, commitment and sustained effort from our students. We aim to celebrate successes and focus upon rewarding effort and achievement.

Our Reward Systems include the following:

Achievement Points

Achievement points are used in lessons to identify and reward student achievement and effort. Students who contribute to the positive ethos of the school are recognised and rewarded. Students can be awarded achievement points for a variety of attitudes, achievements and behaviours including good work, outstanding participation in class and attending extra-curricular events. When a student reaches a certain threshold of achievement points, they will be recognised with a notification which can be seen on their Bromcom profile. The thresholds are as follows:

• 250 Achievement Points – Form Tutor Recognition Badge
• 500 Achievement Points – Year Leader Recognition Badge
• 700 Achievement Points – Key Stage Leader Recognition Badge
• 900 Achievement Points – Senior Leader Recognition Badge
• 1100 Achievement Points – Headteacher Recognition Badge

Daily Rewards Using Achievement Points

Each day students are present in school and marked on time for morning registration, they will be awarded 5 achievement points by their form tutor. These will recognise five key expectations students have upon arrival to school:

• Attendance
• Punctuality
• Correct Uniform
• Correct Equipment
• A Can-Do Attitude

Parents/Carers as well as students can view their achievement points using Bromcom, either online or via the My Child at School app.

Half Termly Rewards

Year 7 and 8 students can be awarded Star of the Half Term by their Form Tutor. This positive recognition will be shared on the student’s Bromcom profile as well as a sweet treat to enjoy at break/lunch time or after school with a certificate.

The Form Group with the highest number of achievement points, as well as highest attendance, wins a sweet treat for the form at the end of the Half Term. These celebrations will take place in Year Group Assemblies led by the Year Team Leaders.

Termly Rewards

Students with a mean score of 4 and above for Attitude to Learning (ATL) Score will be offered a non-uniform day. These are calculated from two data entry points during the year. Students will be identified and invited by letter.

Each classroom teacher will select a “Student of the Term” for each of their subject lessons. This recognition will be awarded and displayed onto the student’s Bromcom profile. 

End of term rewards events will be held at the end of the Autumn and Spring term. Students who have met the following criteria will be invited to attend:

• Top 5 students per form with the highest conduct points (achievement points minus behaviour points)
• No external suspensions
• No internal seclusions

The end of term events are breakfast mornings for all year groups in which students can join their classmates and Year Team Leaders for breakfast in the main hall.

Annual Rewards

At the end of each academic year, students who meet the following criteria will be invited to an end of year event:

• Minimum of 95% attendance – however please note that individual circumstances will be reviewed
• No more than 3 days in inclusion
• No external suspensions
• 850+ conduct points (achievement points minus behaviour points).

Please note, this event will require parental permission and possibly a small financial contribution.

Awards Evenings

We celebrate the success of our students at Key Stage 3 and 4/5 Awards Evenings during the summer term. These evenings are attended by students and their families to recognise not only academic progress and achievement, but also achievements and progress in a number of areas of school life, including sporting, artistic and dramatic contribution, leadership roles and community service.
