Pictured are our current Year 8 ‘Alpha Group’. The Alpha Group consists of students who regularly demonstrate outstanding hard work in lessons, a positive attitude to learning and exemplary behaviour in school.
The Alpha Group were presented with their pin badges in assembly on 25th January from Head Teacher Mr Coole. Each term, students in the Alpha Group are given rewards in recognition of their sustained effort. Recently they have enjoyed Dominoes Pizza and a movie, a bonus dress down day and a week of jumping the lunch queue!
Every student in Year 8 can access the Alpha Group. Entry requirements are based on their average effort grades across all subjects when Interim and full school reports are published. Students can also ‘Fast-Track’ into the scheme by opting to use an ‘effort’ card which they can use to evidence the hard work they are putting into their lessons over a 3 week period. An average effort score of 4.5 is required to gain entry into the Alpha-Group.
