Rewards - All Saints'' Catholic Voluntary Academy - Mansfield

RewardsHis master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’  Matthew 25:21At All Saints’ Catholic Academy, there are many opportunities to receive rewards, recognising both academic and pastoral achievements. They are based around the All Saints’ Way principles which are key characteristics we aim to develop in every student.Giving praise and recognising and rewarding students’ positive behaviour are the most effective way of ensuring all students feel valued and enjoy their learning. All Academy staff will use encouragement regularly and we believe in celebrating and rewarding success. If young people are rewarded consistently for meeting expectations and achieving their best, others will be encouraged to act similarly.Achievement pointsThe Academy rewards achievement points to students in lessons based on a percentage system. To keep it fair for students, a 10% rule for each class is applied, which is always rounded up.
