Rewards and Sanctions

Rewards 

At Longdendale through our rewards policy our vision is:

Vibrant, positive learning culture of success and celebration.

Learners are motivated to feel valued to achieve.

 

An Inclusive Philosophy

PARS records achievement points and behaviour points separately but also gives learners an accumulative net point total taking both into account. Each lesson reward of ASPIRE/Comentency is worth 5 points.  Low level behaviour points are only worth one, medium 3, Reflect 4 and Exclusion 5.  That way every learner should always have more achievement points than behaviour even if they are high tariff which allows incentives to improve and allows more positive conversations when learners about making the right choices.
