Rewards

To further motivate and engage our pupils, we are introducing a new pupil points rewards system, designed to encourage positive behaviour, academic progress and attendance.

 

Instead of using pupil points to access enrichment activities, pupils will now be able to redeem them for exciting end-of-term trips and activities.

 

Every pupil point is worth £0.03 (3p) and can be earned through good behaviour, attendance and academic achievements - with pupils earning 5 points per lesson. At the end of each term, they can use their accumulated points to select from a range of trips and experiences.

 

For example:

  • A top achiever with 905 points will have a budget of £27.15, allowing them to select from higher-tier activities.
  • A pupil with 313 points will have a budget of £9.39, enabling them to choose a more affordable activity or save their points for a future term.   

 

To ensure fairness and accessibility, activities will be tiered based on points earned:

  • Tier 1 (£5–£10): Bowling, a local park trip, or an onsite movie day.
  • Tier 2 (£11–£20): Ice skating, a trampoline park, or a swimming session.• Tier 2 (£11–£20): Ice skating, a trampoline park, or a swimming session.
  • Tier 3 (£21–£30): An adventure park, theme park, or museum trip.

 

Tracking, Communication, and Evaluation

To ensure this initiative runs smoothly and effectively, we have implemented a clear tracking, communication, and evaluation system:

  • Weekly Tracking: Form tutors will update Pupil Points regularly, keeping pupils informed of their progress and helping them set personal goals.
  • Enrichment Supervision: All activities will be overseen by Group TAs and teachers to ensure a safe, engaging, and productive experience.
  • End-of-Term Review: The program will be evaluated at the end of each term to ensure it aligns with our commitment to personal development, inclusivity, and motivation.

 

By linking effort, behaviour, and academic achievements to real-life rewards, this system fosters a culture of aspiration, responsibility, and success at VASE Academy. We believe that every pupil deserves the chance to shine, and this initiative ensures that hard work and positive choices are recognized and celebrated.

 

We look forward to seeing our pupils embrace these opportunities, develop new skills, and enjoy rewarding experiences throughout the term
