We have recently introduced a new online Behaviour and Rewards system called Class Charts.
Using Class Charts staff can award either positive or negative points to students, based on
their behaviour in lessons and around school. This is a real-time system which give parents the
opportunity to see how their son is behaving during the school day.
We feel it is a very useful tool for parents to help them to support
their son throughout his school life. It offers a chance to discuss any
behaviours, both positive and negative, at any time as parents will have
instant access to their son’s behaviour report.
There is the potential for every student to receive one ‘Behaviour for
Learning’ point (BfL point) every lesson, each day, providing he follows
the BfL rule of the week. These are displayed on the website each week.
By attending school every day during a week each student receives ten
‘100% attendance’ points each week. As well as these potential 34 points, there is also the opportunity for students to earn
additional ‘reward points’ in lessons and around school in general.
Students have the same access as parents to their behaviour log. In addition, students have access to the school’s online
Reward Shop via Class Charts. By logging into their accounts, students can see how many points they have to spend and they
can choose what to spend them on.
Between 1st December 2015 and 31st January 2016 over 750 items have been ordered from the online Reward Shop! Below
you can see just some of the items available to order. Students have also donated £22 worth of points to Cancer Research UK
and Macmillan Cancer Support.
These are just some of the many things students can exchange their Reward Points for.
In an attempt to make the homework system more transparent for students, their parents and the
school, in September we introduced Show My Homework.
Show My Homework is an online tool for parents, students and teachers, aimed at making the setting,
completing and feedback regarding homework easier and more transparent for all parties.
Parents who wish to take a more active role in their son’s home learning, can do so by accessing their own Show My
Homework account. They can now take a more pro-active role in encouraging their sons to complete homework tasks and
keeping tabs on the progress, without being intrusive.
Students access their homework via their online account. They can see what homework has been set, when it is due in, and
more importantly, the mark given to them by their teachers.
