Rewards

Our reward system centres around the values of Successful Learners, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens. Each Fairfield value is broken down into positive behaviours that speak directly to pupils; teachers and staff and should promote and encourage pupils to live by our values at every opportunity. Posters outlining the behaviours for each Fairfield value will be displayed in pupil planners, classrooms and across the school. Each pupil who exemplifies a Fairfield behaviour will be awarded with Rise points.

FAIRFIELD RISE POINTS

Fairfield points are calculated by deducting Fall points from Rise points. They are to be used as a driver to secure a positive behaviour culture in the school.

Pupils with the highest Fairfield Rise points will be celebrated on a weekly basis in the form of a leader board. 

All points will be reset at the end of each term.

daily rewards

Daily rewards support a culture of positivity. Each teacher should praise pupils for meeting expectation, following the behavioural norms and demonstrating our Fairfield values.

Rise points are awarded to pupils for demonstrating the Fairfield values throughout the day:

  • each form tutor will aim to award at least 1 pupil with an achievement point during tutor time.
  • each class teacher will aim to award at least 3 pupils within the lesson.
  • each Head of Year will aim to award at least 5 pupils from their year group during social times.

It is important that all pupils are recognised for their achievements including those with SEND.

weekly rewards

Weekly rewards recognise pupils who exemplify our Fairfield values throughout the week.

Positive postcards will be sent home by the Head of Year acknowledging when a pupil has:

  • Reached the following Rise point threshold: 50, 100, 150, 200 etc.
  • The top 10 pupils with the highest number of Fairfield points in each year group will receive a positive text message home.
  • The pupil with the highest number of Fairfield points in each year group will be named the Star of the Week. Their names will be displayed on screens around the school and social media, where appropriate, to celebrate success.

golden tickets

We recognise excellent learning and attitudes both in and out of the classroom. At Fairfield High School, we have a great deal to celebrate with pupils demonstrating our shared values in abundance daily. 

Staff award Golden tickets for demonstrating our shared values of Successful Learners, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens. Golden tickets are a great way of recognising when pupils do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. 

Each week, every member of staff has five Golden tickets to issue for the week. The tickets are rewarded throughout the week either in lessons, in corridors or during social times.

The golden ticket will be placed in each year group post box and a draw will take place in assembly.  The Golden ticket will come in two parts, one section to be kept at home and another that is posted.

end of year trips

End of year trips will be in place for each year group. Pupils who have a high number of fall points (threshold TBC) or have had several referrals to Reflection, will not be permitted to attend.
