Class Charts and Rewards
Also we will share success with parents with Class Charts certificates:
● Bronze = 200 Achievement Points ● Silver = 400 Achievement Points ● Gold = 600 Achievement Points ● Platinum = 1000 Achievement Points ● Diamond = 2000 Achievement Points
Behaviour Procedures - Delivering the good news
Step One: Verbal Rewards (Achievement Points 0)
Step Two: Class Charts Rewards for positive engagement (Achievement
Points 3) – These will be classed under the following headings
∙ Leadership
∙ Organisation
∙ Resilience
∙ Initiative
∙ Communication
Behaviour Procedures - Delivering the good news
Step Three: Subject Class Charts Reward for above and beyond, including postcard of praise
(Achievement Points 5)
At this point a class teacher may want to reward further:
Step Four: Faculty Class Charts Reward - Public recognition award, including a phone call
home from the class teacher (Achievement Points 6)
Behaviour Procedures - Delivering the good news
These points are all awarded for key skills of:
- Leadership - Organisation - Resilience - Initiative - Communication
Behaviour Procedures – Delivering the bad news
Step 1: Verbal Choice [Behaviour Points 0] – Choice/Not belonging
e.g. You are given a choice as your current behaviour is not belonging, however,
you now have the choice to change this current behaviour, therefore meaning you
will grow and ultimately succeed.
Behaviour Procedures - Delivering the bad news
Step 2: Class Charts Teacher restorative conversation (Behaviour Points 2) –
Conversation/Not Growing –
e.g. I have noticed that you have not taken your first choice therefore you
are not growing, however, I still want to work with you therefore we will
have a conversation about this at break time today. I hope you understand
you can still make a change today and therefore there will be no further
consequence.
Behaviour Procedures - Delivering the bad news
Step 3: Faculty Detention issued – [Behaviour Points 5]
Consequence/Not Succeeding –
e.g. I have noticed that you have not taken the opportunities given
to you to make a change to your behaviour, the consequence of
this is that we will have a further conversation about this after
school in detention, as this is stopping you succeeding.
Behaviour Procedures – Mobile Phones
Y7 – Y9 – Mobile Phones are not allowed out during the school day
Y10 – Y11 – Mobile Phones are allowed out at break and lunch
Use of social media
We ask that you monitor your son or daughters use of social media
We want them to focus on their education not what they were posting online the previous evening

What are they studying and how?
What to do if your child is stuck on their homework?
There will always be an example in video that will cover an almost identical question to the one they are stuck on.They can also pull the video up in the quiz and scrub the video to the place that will help them on the one they’re stuck on.
1) Use their donut to improve their weak areas: Your child can click the red section to findthe quizzes they need to improve (quizzes under 70%) and redo them until they are amber(quizzes over 70%) or green (quizzes at 100%). Once they have made everything green oramber go back over the amber and try to get them to green.
Click the red section andit will open up anylessons your child isunder 70% on for themto redo.
What if your child has completed all homework – what else could they do?
2) Fix up 5: HegartyMaths remembers every mistake your child has ever made andgenerates a quiz with 5 questions from different parts of maths that they are weakon so they can re-do them with the video and Fix Up!
What if your child has completed all homework – what else could they do?
