Rewards & Recognition
At Harris Academy Beckenham our rewards system celebrates the achievements and successes of our students both inside and outside the classroom. HABE students will be recognised and praised for their achievements, progress, behaviour and attendance, as well as their individual contribution to our Academy community.
Our rewards system is not only used to celebrate our students’ success, but also to inspire and motivate all students to achieve their full potential.
How will my child be rewarded during lessons?
During lessons staff are asked to lead with positives, and to reward good behaviour and positive learning attitudes. This helps to ensure students are demonstrating the right commitment to their studies.
Each lesson is an opportunity for students to receive Reward Points from their teacher.
Reward Points are given for behaviours such as (but not limited to):
- Being Resourceful.
- Being Resilient.
- Being Reflective
- Being Reciprocal.
Classroom rewards may also be in the form of postcards sent home, positive praise from the teacher or sharing outstanding student work with the class or other classes within the department.
What will happen with all the merits my child has earned?
Points mean prizes! Students’ Reward Points are collected and tracked and once they have accumulated enough, they will be awarded the relevant certificate and letter home to be presented in the end of term Rewards Assembly. Points are also tracked every two weeks and those students at the top of the leaderboard for each year group are celebrated in the bi-weekly Virtual Rewards Assembly, and the top five are also invited to the bi-weekly Principal's Breakfast for free waffles and cake! They will also receive the highly sought after ‘HABE Golden Lunch Ticket’ which enables them to skip the queue for lunch.
How will my child be rewarded for having 100% attendance?
Students that achieve 100% attendance in a term will be recognised by their Heads of Year through assemblies and rewards to recognise their commitment to school and their learning. They will also receive the highly sought after ‘HABE Golden Lunch Ticket’ which enables them to skip the queue for lunch.
How will my child be rewarded for having a clean sheet of no detentions?
Students who have maintained a clean sheet of no detentions/negative events for the academic year will also be recognised by their Heads of Year at the end of the academic year in the final Rewards Assembly.
