Staff will award you points on our online awards system called epraise. As the points build up students will able to be entered for half termly prize draws; to turn points into vouchers to spend at College on Youth Clubs and Activities, College Trips and the Prom. Later students may be able to buy items using their points from a new online shop we will develop this year.

Reports
Parents will get a report sheet every year showing the points that you have earned and why they were awarded.
Epraise Achievements
When you look at a studen’s profile in Epraise you will see some grey boxes at the bottom of the screen.
These boxes can be lit up by senior staff including Heads of Subject, Heads of Year and members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) They mark a student’s special achievements of the year. Often a student will also be awarded points with an Achievement.
