Rewards

Alcester Academy uses so many ways to reward students throughout the year, and we always try to celebrate the achievements both inside and outside of school of students.

We use House Points to record praise for students which they can see for themselves through their student app. Students can achieve points for participation and contribution in class, excellent classwork and homework. They are also rewarded weekly for full attendance, for participating in extra-curricular activities, representing the school and for demonstrating the Alcester Academy school values.

Tutor groups who achieve the most points are also rewarded with treats within their tutor time. Every student is also part of one of the school houses and every point also contributes to the house competition to see who wins the Alcester Academy House Cup.

Each term staff will nominate students from each class to receive a certificate to commend their effort and attainments culminating in a student of the term award.  

Regular Hot Chocolate with the Headteacher time rewards students who have outstanding ATL grades (Attitude to Learning) on their reports. Throughout the year we have numerous prize draws for students who have achieved the most house points in their year group and in the school.

At the end of the year all students receive a bespoke blazer badge for their highest accolade achieved during the year and students who achieve the most points are celebrated in our annual celebration evening. Our annual rewards trip day is always a highlight when the majority of the school goes out on a school trip to celebrate their achievements.

Every year we also hold a Sports Awards evening where our sporting stars are celebrated at a prestigious event. In the summer, we hold our annual whole school.

Celebration Evening involves students from all years receiving awards and trophies for different subjects, for effort, progress and our highly competitive student of the year awards in a big ceremony attended by students, staff, governors and parents. The whole evening is compered by our newly elected School Captains in year 10.
