Behaviour & Rewards

Positive Consequences (Rewards)

Across Oasis Blakenhale Academies’ Primary Phase, we believe that children should be encouraged to behave well and work hard and we use a number of positive reinforcements to foster good behaviours for learning. Whilst our aim is that children should work and behave well for the pleasure of the task, we recognise that rewards are sometimes necessary and appropriate. The following list of positive rewards is not exhaustive:

•          Non-verbal rewards such as a thumbs up sign or a smile;

•          Praise/positive affirmation;

•          Showing work to another teacher, a Year-Group Leader, or member of the ALT;

•          Stickers;

•          Certificates;

•          Letter home/telephone call/text to parents;

•          Displaying work;

•          Positive and constructive comments written on the child’s work;

•          Child selected for an End-of-Term Award;

•          Good work assemblies

·         Carrot tokens.

The Carrot Token system is the Academy’s main cross-cohort system and is explained in more depth below.
