Rewards

Positive Points for Pupils

We believe that an effective rewards system is vital, as it encourages and reinforces the types of positive behaviour we want from our pupils. Pupils who contribute and strive for excellence will be recognised through the reward system.

  • Positive points can be awarded by any member of staff, at any time, to any pupil, if they feel a pupil is promoting the ethos of the school.
  • Pupils and parents can track the number of positive points awarded through the ClassCharts app and the school website.
  • Pupils will be able to access their positive points for rewards of their choice at specific times in the academic year.
  • Pupils will need to decide whether they save or spend points for rewards, but points must be spent by the end of the academic year.
  • The number of positive points a pupil receives will also allow they to access year group rewards and end of year trips.

It is important to remember that any Negative points received throughout the year will limit the number of rewards a pupil can access
