Pupil Reward Points - Record and Recognise Achievement

Pupil Reward Points is updated frequently according to feedback from staff and students. Students using our system told us that they wanted the reward system to appear much more like a social networking website.

Therefore, they can now add a profile picture, change their background and font, and if allowed by the school, pupils can add friends in order to see each other's points totals. Children cannot communicate with each other via the system unless you specify otherwise.

Pupils can have their own privacy settings to decide whether or not to share details of their achievements with friends, or the school can fix the privacy settings for all pupils.

Pupils can earn online badges for reaching milestones such as saving 500 points, having at least 95% attendance or earning a particular amount of points in an area such as literacy or numeracy. This is fully automated and allows success to be recognised without any input from staff.

Children can see how many points they are earning over time. This could be useful for conversations between a child and their teacher, or between parents and their children.

For schools that teach subjects seperately, Pupil Reward Points can allow a child to see how many points they have received in each area. This information can be used to identify a child's strengths and areas for improvement where there is equal opportunity to earn points in each area.

All of the above information about each child can also be seen by staff.

Students can see their current attendance and / or punctuality on their homepage, and they can be awarded automatically for their attendance e.g. 1 point per session.

Pupils can see details of every individual achievement they have made over weeks, months and years. This is not only useful for student self-assessments but it is also useful for staff meetings about the student.

Our system can be accessed whenever and wherever you can use the internet. If you can sign in while your children are at school, you can find out what they have been doing and what they have been achieving.

You receive one user account for all your children at the same school - the information for each child is displayed on their own tab.

Find out the names of your children's teachers and contact individual members of staff at using a simple contact form.

Do you give your child pocket money? If so, you can decide that part or all of your child's pocket money will be based on how many points they earn each week. You can decide how many points equals a penny or a pound. Our system will then inform you how much they have earned at the end of the week.

We believe that it is important to teach children that there is a link between hard work and financial gain; that is the nature of the society in which we live.

Schools using our parents evening module can offer parents the ability to book appointments directly with their child's teachers via their Pupil Reward Points parent account. Children can often forget to make an appointment or if they do not like the lesson, they may avoid booking an appointment altogether. Unfortunately, these lessons are often where problems may arise and so these appointments are the most important.

Our system can remove this potential problem and benefit schools by allowing them to record who attends.

Implementing a "Pupil Reward Points" system is relatively straightforward because we can do most of the work for you. This includes setting up student and staff user accounts and customising it to meet your school requirements.

If your school would like our system to read from your MIS (SIMS, Integris, iSAMS etc.), we can set up that too. We support GroupCall Xporter-on-demand for transfering MIS data, which your school may already use for other third party systems.

Experience tells us that in most schools, network managers and IT technicians will be responsible for managing user accounts, which includes resetting passwords. So in order to make your life easier, we support a variety of single sign-on options such as Office 365, Google and Active Directory integration. This means that students and staff can sign into our website using an existing username and password.

Accessing multiple systems can become tedious, which is why we offer an automatic sign in tool. Staff / students just click a desktop icon, which opens their web browser and signs into the reward system automatically.

We take data security very seriously and comply with all relevant legislation such as the Data Protection Act and have adopted GDPR compliant processes. For example, during set up, we will provide a data sharing agreement so it is clear what data we use and how we use it. For more information, you are welcome to download our Data Protection Policy.
