Reward system

When successfully getting 100 merits, students are awarded the Platinum Award certificate then to be entered in a prize draw, where the prizes vary from a vouchers to exciting trips and maybe even gadgets (like the iPod). Letters are sent home rewarding the students when they get six merits for a specific subject. However, year 9, 10 & 11 students have a new system called 'tri-weekly's' after every 3 week students get a sticker from each subject. students get 1 of 3 stickers Bronze - 1 point, Silver 2 Points and Gold - 3 Points. The aim is to get a lot of points so pupils can be rewarded with a trip or something else
