Rewards and Consequences

At St Albans Girls' School we have high standards of conduct so that all can learn in a  safe, happy and  secure environment

We recognise the importance of rewarding hard work, contribution to the school community and exceptional effort. Students are rewarded through (but not limited to) the following means:

• Praise from teachers and support colleagues
• Phone calls and postcards home
• The issuing of house points by subject and pastoral staff including for contribution to sports, arts, drama and school events
• Termly rewards assemblies involving the issuing of certificates and other prizes, for academic success, contribution to school life and STAGS Values, attendance and house points
• Rewards throughout the year for participation in individual school projects 
• Annual celebration event at the end of the school year for all members of the winning House

We also have high standards of conduct so that all students can learn and achieve their potential in a happy, secure environment. Good behaviour is supported by:

• Guidance from Form Tutors and teaching colleagues
• Reports - Form Tutor, Director of Learning, Head of Key Stage, Positive, Organisational
• Communication with Parents
• Mentors (peer and staff)
• Pastoral Support Programmes
• External outreach programmes

Behaviour that disrupts learning, upsets others or compromises respect towards staff at the school, will be addressed in a firm and fair manner. If detentions are issued, both students and parents or carers will be informed by letter. The aim of any consequence is to inform and guide students in making better choices in the future, so that their time at St Albans Girls' School is productive and happy. 

Please see the attached Rewards and Consequences ladders which can also be found in the online Student Planner and on display in classrooms. The whole school Rewards and Consequences Policy can be viewed by clicking here.
