Frank Field Education Trust Awards

We aim to create a culture where pupils and staff flourish in safety and dignity. We have developed a rewards system that recognises pupils positive behaviours at all times.

Our rewards system celebrates positive attitudes to learning and ensures all pupils have the opportunity to have their efforts and achievements recognised in line with our moral virtues and LORIC skills. We have a range of ways in which we recognise and celebrate pupils achievements.

Frank Field Education Trust Awards

The FFET awards are our flagship reward and has been created to record and celebrate pupils’ achievements as they journey through the different stages of College life. Pupils will have the opportunity to develop their cultural capital experiences through Social and Intellectual Capital opportunities. A series of challenges which pupils are rewarded for upon completion have been devised and pupils can gain points through our knowledge rich curriculum, as well as our Be More Curriculum. Pupils will receive an FFET Award at three different levels of challenge in each of the different stages (Gold, Silver or Bronze level). Our aim is that all children will go for Gold at every stage.

In each Learning programme pupils are provided with a series of challenges or opportunities to earn points toward an FFET Award. Every curriculum area sets an FFET award task and promotes it during the learning cycle. Heads of Learning also set a range of challenges within each Learning Programme Cycle. Pupils can also use their classcharts points to use towards their FFET Award. We map the challenges on an online interactive platform where pupils have access to view their progress.
