• Extend his/her Profile to r eflect participation in wider oppor tunities • T ake r es pons ibility for his/her Individual Learning Plan • Key Skills Level 3 qualification I CT • Complete the UCAS application process • Achieve 100% attendance for at least three ter ms 12 experiences: participation in 8 needed to pas s the Highcliffe Challenge. Ver ificat ion Examples of activities that count as separate ‘exper iences ’ will be made available when the s cheme is launched and on the S chool Intranet. Other activities could count, but they would need to confirmed by the appr opr iate Head of S chool. S tudents will need to have ver ification that they have completed a par ticular experience. To ver ify an activity, they will enter the details of the activity they have under taken into a s ection of the ‘MyHighcliffe’ ar ea of the s chool Intranet, identifying which member of staff can verify the activity. This will automatically generate an e-mail to that member of staff, who will then simply have to click on a link ‘yes’ or ‘no’, to ver ify, (or not) that activity. Positively verified activities would then appear in the s tudent’s ‘MyHighcliffe’ ar ea, which the tutor will be able to see at the next academic tutor ing s ession with that student. When a s tudent has the r equired number of activities verified to pass a K ey Stage Challenge, the r elevant Head of Year would be automatically notified. Acknow edgement When students have completed the Highcliffe Challenge, they will be pr es ented in an assembly with a cer tificate and a badge to wear : a br onze badge for the completion of the KS 3 Challenge, a s ilver badge for the completion of the KS 4 Challenge and a gold badge for the completion of the KS 5 Challenge. Once students have completed a Challenge, they can begin work on achieving the next Challenge, even if they are s till in an earlier key stage.
R E W AR DS AND MOTIVATION November 2003 One ver y important aspect of encouraging good behaviour in schools is positive r einfor cement of student achievement. Through rewarding good wor k and pos itive behaviour , and thr ough encouraging s tudents to become fully involved in the wider life of the s chool, students become mor e active, more awar e of the oppor tunities that surround them and genuinely want to achieve more and become mor e involved. The pos itive, ‘can do’ atmos pher e is encouraged as students realize that their achievements, whatever they may be, wherever their strengths lie, are recognized and rewarded. Over the pas t year, two maj or appr oaches for positive reinforcement have been implemented at Highcliffe – the S chool Rewards Policy and the Highcliffe Challenge. The policy statements outlining thes e s tr ategies are included. Both strategies place the emphasis on students taking r es pons ibility for recording their achievements. Each strategy also pr ovides a r ange of rewards for students to aim for. These include: • Gold, silver and br onze badges for the Key Stage 5, Key S tage 4 and Key Stage 3 Highcliffe Challenges, designed by the S tudent Council. • ‘Praise Car ds ’ s igned by the Head of Year (50) or the Headteacher (100) sent directly home infor ming par ents when students have had 50 and 100 merits recorded electr onically in a year . • Head of Year certificates for achieving 30 and 80 merits in a year. • A £20 WH Smith Achievement Voucher for the s tudent in each of Years 7, 8 & 9 achieving the mos t merits each term. • Achievement vouchers as raffle pr izes (10 merits = 1 raffle ticket) in each end of term year group 'Achievement Assembly’ (Year s 7, 8 & 9). • A pr ize to s har e for the tutor group in each of Years 7, 8 & 9 with the mos t merits recorded each term.
