Letters of Commendation (LOC)

Each fortnight, form tutors nominate one member of their form group who has shown commitment, enthusiasm and progress to the Head of Year. After reading all the nominations, the Head of Year will decide which of these students wins the Student of the Week award for the entire year group. That students then earns 50 points for their form group.

The student who has collected the most credits wins the secret student awards and earns 50 points for their form group.
Attendance
Each fortnight the attendance of every student in every from group is calculated. Each student who has achieved 100% attendance over the two week period (10 school days) is awarded 6 points for their form.
Behaviour Ranking
The mindset, behaviour and homework of students is assessed by their teachers at the end of each half term. This data is then analysed and turned into a rank. Students can earn or lose points for their form depending which rank they find themselves in at the end of each half term.
