Pupil of the Week Certificate
A ‘Pupil of the Week’ certificate is awarded to 1 pupil from each class every week. The teacher / adults in the class are responsible for selecting recipients based around a school focus for the week (e.g. resilience, presentation, etc.). Children are presented with a certificate during our celebration assembly.
Headteacher’s Award
Pupils receive a Headteacher’s award for demonstrating exemplary behaviours or for outstanding effort and achievement. Along with this award, pupils receive five Dojos.
Attendance Rewards
We know how important attendance is to ensuring pupils are able to maximise the opportunities to fulfil their potential. Every week, the class with the highest attendance receives an extra playtime as a reward. At the end of each half term, the class with the highest attendance and the class with the most improved attendance receive a special reward (e.g. cinema afternoon or pizza treat).
Individual pupil attendance is rewarded every half term, those with exemplary attendance are placed in a raffle with the chance for a lucky winner from each phase of school to win £5 voucher. Also, every week that a child achieves 100% attendance they are given a raffle ticket. At the end of the academic year, a winner from KS1 and KS2 are drawn to win a scooter. A simlar draw is made for year 6 children, who have a record of exemplary attendance during their time at Rookeries, the lucky pupil drawn will win a bike.
Reading Rewards
When a child reads four times at home each week, they receive a raffle ticket. If they read five times a week, they receive an additional ticket. Every week, a winning ticket is drawn for each phase of school and the lucky winners are allowed to choose a book to keep from our reading vending machine.
Twitter Showcase
Throughout the year, we recognise pupil achievements through our school Twitter account. These may include the completion of exemplary work or effort in a particular task, winning a sporting tournament, a performance in a school production, receiving a headteacher award, taking part in a fundraising event and many more.
