Achievement Point Thresholds

All achievement points which students receive are cumulative over the course of the academic year. As students reach certain milestones they will be able to claim rewards via their tutor. These categories are broken down into Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond.

Topaz - The first milestone for achievement points. This gives entry to a regular prize draw where students can win vouchers.

Ruby - The second milestone for achievement points. This gives students options such as an early access lunch or a non-uniform day.

Sapphire - The third milestone for achievement points. This awards students a badge and certificate as well as the option to select one of a variety end of term reward activities.

Diamond - The final and highest milestone for achievement points. This awards students a badge, a voucher and access to an end of year school activity day.

Due to differences between year groups, the threshold points for each milestone varies.
