Praise

Classroom Champion

At our school, we celebrate effort, achievement and positive attitudes to learning through our Classroom Champions reward system. During lessons, teachers can award students a Classroom Champion point when they demonstrate excellent work, outstanding effort, positive behaviour, or go above and beyond in their learning.

These points are collected throughout the half term and contribute towards our rewards programme. At the end of each half term, students who have earned the most points are recognised and rewarded for their commitment and hard work.

The Classroom Champions initiative helps to create a positive learning environment where effort is celebrated and students are encouraged to take pride in their achievements

Reward cards are given for outstanding achievement, improvement and consistent effort by all subject teachers and recorded on our Consequences module of OCloud. In addition, reward cards are given by Learning Managers, the Bridge Manager and SLT.

Cause for Applause

As senior staff learning walk, we often hear applause when students give amazing answers or show a deep insight about their current work. The member of staff on the learning walk rewards the student further with a “Cause for Applause” card. This card is then traded in at Student Services for a “Cause for Applause” reward.

After each Praising Stars cycle E1 students (outstanding effort in all subjects) are rewarded in a variety of ways from praise assemblies, letters to parents, certificates or an invite to ‘Tea and Games with SLT’. This popular event allows the Senior Leadership Team and Learning Managers to praise students for their efforts in a relaxing but fun environment.

The Wall of Excellence

We love to make sure you are rewarded for focused learning, positive contributions, good manners and being respectful of staff and peers. Students who work hard and achieve great things earn a place on our Wall of Excellence.

Certificates are given for outstanding achievement, improvement and consistent effort by all subject teachers every half term or term (depending on the subject). Often these certificates are part of a celebration assembly and they are highly prized by both students and parents/carers.
