Behaviour & Rewards
The key to building positive behaviours and habits is through a strong and well deserved reward system. Here at Oasis Academy Sholing we believe that building our young people's esteem and confidence through rewards is vital to creating a harmonious and motivational learning environment. Those students that Strive for Excellence (SFX) in everything they do we be rewarded.
We use Class Charts to log and track both negative and positive behaviour. Students can spend their positive house points in the Class Charts shop on items and experiences. The icons below provide a selection of the positive behaviours that can be logged to help motivate students and recognise the progress they make.
In class
On task and Resilience = 1 point (for effort and trying hard when work is challenging).
Wow work = 3 points (for something that makes your teacher think 'wow')!
Fab 4 = 4 points (for outstanding progress, does not matter about your ability in the subject. Given out every lesson up to four students).
Sustained good work = 5 points (for students who have worked hard across a series of lessons).
Good Homework = 1 point and can be given out after every good homework.
Out of class
Positive phone call = 3 points (for excellent work within lesson, or positive things outside).
Significant achievement = 5 points (for great work after school, such as a performance in music, drama or sport).
Independent Learning = 3 points (for completing work in your own time independently, in addition, to homework that may have been set).
Act of kindness = 3 points (for being kind to a member of our community, whether it is another student, staff member or visitor).
Intervention Contribution = 3 points (for engaging well, or making good progress in any intervention, whether that is maths / english / reading / SEN / pastoral / mental health etc.).
Tutor Weekly Uniform / Equipment = 5 points (Every Friday morning in tutor time students who have had 100% correct uniform and equipment that week receive this).
N.b. Extra positive icons may be added to Class Charts for bespoke rewards for short periods, before removal.
In addition to house points, students can:
- receive a praise postcard sent home by their teachers for a piece of work that is commendable in some way
- receive or a praise phone call home
- receive a ‘shout out’ from their teacher in their Year group assembly. Every assembly regardless of the theme will start with weekly rewards.
- be nominated to participate in a half-termly rewards period / afternoon organised by the Head of Year. This can range from watching a film with popcorn provided, or benefiting from an experience or activity, such as Lazer Quest in the sports hall!
The most exciting reward you could receive is a ‘big ticket’ prize from the half-termly FAB 4 prize draw. Students place their Fab 4 tickets in one of three boxes choosing which prize they would like to receive if their name is picked: ranging from air pods to a PlayStation 5.
