Rewards

Netherthorpe School Rewards

  • Rewards help to build a confident, positive ‘can-do’ ethos and will bring clear benefits to pupils inside and outside the classroom.
  • They help to celebrate and validate achievement, service and effort.
  • They are an important motivator and are a way of recognising the majority of hard working, willing pupils.
  • Just like the consequence system, rewards can be given for anything seen round school as well as positives in lessons.

Reward Cards

  • Students in each year group will be issued with a reward card with space for 20 signatures at the start of each term by their tutor.
  • In lessons they can collect signatures or stamps from teachers based on a tariff shown below.
  • Once they have completed the reward card they can exchange it for a new one at the office during break or lunchtime.
  • For every completed reward card submitted to the office, students will be entered into a termly prize draw (2 terms for Y11+13). These will be drawn in the final assembly of each term and there will be high value prizes at this point which will be promoted throughout the term to the students.

Celebration assemblies

At the end of each term we will celebrate the success of many students who have outstanding attendance and those who show excellent hard work, dedication and/or contribution to school life. Reward card prize draws will also take place.

 

Rewards trips and activities

Every term there will be a focus for students beyond the classroom rewards e.g. Attendance of 98% or better. Students that meet the criteria will be allowed to take part in an activity or trip, or be given preferential access to things such as activity day. These will be announced to students at the start of the year and reminded throughout.

 

Annual Celebration events

Years 7-10 hold a morning or afternoon at the end of the year to celebrate the achievement of many individuals who have won prizes for things such as hard work and effort in all subject areas, outstanding attendance and contribution to school life. Parents are invited into school for this in Year 9. This will include a final prize draw for reward cards with an extra special prize available.
