Frank Field Education Trust Awards
The FFET awards are our flagship award, created to record and celebrate pupils’ achievements, development of pupils LORIC skills and moral virtues as they journey through the different stages of EPC life.Â
Pupils will have the opportunity to develop their Cultural Capital experiences through Social and Intellectual Capital opportunities.Â
A series of challenges have been devised which pupils are rewarded for upon completion and from their participation in our Be More Curriculum.Â
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.Â
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 MFA Cycle.Â
Rewards at EPC:
We believe all children respond to praise and therefore, 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 and is simple and easy to use for all staff to consistently recognise the achievements of pupils.
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 values and LORIC skills. We have a range of ways in which we recognise and celebrate pupils achievements.
In addition to the FFET Awards, we celebrate pupils achievements and behaviours in the following ways:
FFET Awards – pupils whose achieve their FFET Award are invited to attend a ceremony in recognition of their achievements.
Awards Evening – We also celebrate sustained achievement and effort of individual pupils through the presentation of a range of awards.Â
