At Smith’s Wood Academy, we believe that character matters just as much as academic achievement. While success in the classroom is important, we are equally committed to developing young people who demonstrate respect, responsibility and positive values in their everyday lives.
Our new Respect Rewards initiative has been designed to recognise and celebrate students who consistently demonstrate respect across our academy community. Whether it is showing kindness to others, contributing positively in lessons, supporting fellow students or displaying excellent conduct around the academy, every positive action counts.
Students can achieve positive points for demonstrating respect throughout the school day. These points contribute towards our Respect Rewards programme, giving students the opportunity to be recognised for the positive difference they make within our academy.
To celebrate these achievements, the top 30 students in each year group will qualify for a prize draw, with the chance to win a £10 voucher. More importantly, the initiative shines a spotlight on the behaviours and attitudes that help create a positive learning environment for everyone.
Respect is one of the core values that underpin life at Smith’s Wood Academy, alongside Resilience and Ambition. Through initiatives such as Respect Rewards, we aim to encourage and recognise the students who embody these values every day.
We look forward to celebrating the achievements of our students and announcing the winners during our Celebration Assembly on 18th December.
Together, we will continue to build a culture where positive choices, strong character and mutual respect are recognised and valued.
