Westbury School runs a successful rewards points system throughout each Key Stage. The pupils each have a reviewable behaviour and work target relating to their Individual Education Plan. In each lesson they are marked on how they have met these targets, along with the work they have acheived, whether they have been in the correct area and their respect towards others.
Together with points for tutor time, each pupil has the potential to acheive 120 points in a day. After lesson 5, their points are added up. If they have 100 or more points, they have access to a lesson 6 activity. Any points over 100 are saved as bonus points, and these with any points they recieve for good work or behaviour, are banked for reward trips at the end of each term.
There are different lesson 6 activities available every day. Each key stage has a choice of a sporting and non-sporting lesson. These include Hockey, Basketball, Footabll Team Skills, Craft, Drama and First Aid. Usually, each key stage has a separate sporting activity and joint non-sporting lesson. On Friday, lesson 6 is Big Match, where everyone who makes lesson 6 has a big game of footabll using the school's excellent sports hall. Since we opened the Key Stage 2 class, many pupils have taken the opportunity to use their lesson 6 to help support the teaching of the KS2 lesson 6, promoting good relationships throughout the school.
For pupils who do not make enough points to join in a lesson 6 activity, a lesson is provided with set work, or for pupils to complete work from the day.
Each Bonus Point that is saved is equivalent to one penny when it comes to paying for reward trips. Pupils also use their points to pay for any damage to school or equipment that they are responsible for. This system serves as a good incentive to the pupils.
Links to some of the places used for reward trips can be found in the Staff section of the website.
