Rewards and Celebration
At Orsett Heath Academy, we believe that effort, achievement and positive contribution should be recognised and celebrated.
Our rewards programme provides regular opportunities for students to be recognised for demonstrating our school values of Courage, Effort, Potential and Respect, alongside academic achievement, progress and contribution to school life.
Our Rewards Journey
Students can be recognised in a number of ways:
- Values Point: 1 point for demonstrating our school values.
- Appreciation Card: 3 points for outstanding effort, kindness, conduct or contribution.
- Fortnightly Focus Award: 5 points with selected students invited to a celebration breakfast.
- Half-Termly Focus Award: 10 points with certificates and invitations to special rewards events.
- Annual Recognition: 20 points celebrating exceptional achievement and contribution.
Reward Achievement Levels
Positive points build throughout the year, with students recognised as they reach key milestones:
Bronze: 100 points | Silver: 200 points | Gold: 300 points
Achievement levels are celebrated each half-term, with students receiving badges that can be worn proudly on their school blazer
Appreciation Cards and Rewards Shop
Appreciation Cards provide special recognition for students who demonstrate outstanding effort, kindness or contribution.
Students can collect their cards and exchange them for a range of rewards at our weekly Rewards Shop, held every Friday lunchtime.
Celebrating Success
Recognition happens throughout the year through celebration breakfasts, certificates, half-termly rewards events, Masters of Recall Champions, Presentation Evening, Sports Awards and the Headteacher's Award.
The Headteacher's Award provides special recognition for exceptional achievement, progress, leadership, character or contribution to our school community.
Our aim is simple: for students to know that effort matters, achievement is noticed and success is celebrated.
Proud to Belong. Proud to Achieve.
