Rewards
The purpose of our praise and reward culture is to provide a clear framework through which staff can praise and reward students for going above and beyond the high expectations of normal Caister Academy conduct.
Caister Academy staff seek to praise, encourage, celebrate and reward:
- Ambition: demonstrated through achievement and effort and attendance.
- Opportunity: through extra-curricular participation and taking learning risks - not being afraid to fail.
- Character: modelling positive attributes such as independence, resilience, and leadership, and overcoming barriers to success.
- Community: by positive contribution to the academy or broader community.
- In addition, staff seek to engage students with positive, proactive language at all times.
Our underpinning philosophy of praise and rewards are:
- Regular and meaningful praise increases student motivation, encouraging high aspirations, enjoyment of learning, participation in academy life, and raising self-esteem.
- Providing shared goals with positive outcomes gives students an aim to focus on, guiding positive decision making at times of challenge.
- A framework for rewards ensures they can be distributed consistently and equitably, with all stakeholders understanding the reasons for doing so and sharing in students’ success.
- Rewards should be accessible by students of all ability levels in all year groups.
- Rewards are not given for meeting basic expectations, just because they were not met previously.

At Caister Academy we congratulate and reward our students who attend each day, behave well and contribute positively to our whole school community.
These are our Hardworking Heroes and each week form tutors nominate students for Senior Leadership recognition.
Our Senior Leadership Team have congratulated many students over the past term. Keep up the great work and we look forward to acknowledging many more Hardworking Heroes across the academic year.
Each week, we change our Caister Coin focus. These are handed out on a Thursday morning by Form Tutors or Heads of Year. Students are rewarded with Caister Coins which they can trade for a lucky dip prize! We look forward to payday every Friday!
